This week the ladies cover two ladies who defied the physical odds in the face of incredibly tragedy! First, Kelley covers Wanda Rutkiewicz, a mountaineer who defied gender, nature, and death itself. The, Emily tells the story Elizabeth Thorn who, when the Battle of Gettysburg left her home and town devastated, undertook the gruesome but necessary work of burying the bodies. Coworkers beware because we're wining about herstory!
