If you're looking for cats, traitorous seamen, and a man's opinion about 'woman sports' then you've come to the right place! This week, Emily discovers her own personal savior, St. Gertrude of Nivelles, who used her love of service to avoid throngs of thirsty suitors. Then, Kelley tells the incredible story of Mary Ann Brown Patten, a ride or die bitch who captained her husband's ship when he became ill, contending with violent seas, craven crew members, and an utterly thankless world. Grab your favorite feline and climb aboard because we're wining about herstory!
