In this episode, Kaitlyn, Mo and Sam each researched an inspirational woman from history to present to each other, and also to you, the listener. We didn’t know anything about the women the others chose, so all of the reactions you hear in the episode are genuine and off-the-cuff. By chance, we each wrote about a woman related to different themes: Social justice, reproductive justice, and adventuring. Hopefully you’ll be as awed and inspired by these women as we were.
