People think that history is a settled thing, just because the past is behind us. That isn't true. History is manipulated. It changes all the time to suit a narrative. It is deliberately suppressed, and today's episode is the smallest of rages against that machine in the hope that we can correct a misconception. Women have contributed to society since the dawn of time, but their stories have not been told, leading to the lie that only recently have they been able to make meaningful stands. Today we are going to talk about some women who put their lives on the line and stood up for what they believed in.We want to stress that while the two we chose to highlight were responsible for military victories, that is not the only lens through which you should view accomplished women or societal impact. There are thousands of ways that a person can make their world a better one, as this week's listener attests to, putting her life on the line without ever picking up a weapon.This episode is entertainment, but in its small way it is also a call not to heed the narrative that has been fed to you. Seek out the stories you haven't been told, and be inspired to be more than you are. Or, in absence of such decency, come spill the fruits of your degeneracy on our podcast, so that we can laugh in amazement and horror.
