Join me to learn about Mary "Mother" Jones and her advocacy work for worker's rights. We're going to focus *mostly* on the March of the Mill Children and how this plucky woman pushed to raise awareness about the dangers of child labor. When Mother Jones knew that something was wrong, NOTHING stood in her way.

Visit our Instagram @haveyoumetherpodcast to see a couple of pictures of Mother Jones and get a peek at the resources I used in researching her life.

Judith Heumann changed the world person-by-person. By connecting on a human level. She was a born leader who didn't let her fear keep her from changing the world for people all over the globe: those whose only limitations were those imposed by a society that didn't appreciate the potential of the differently abled, and those who were blissfully unaware of those limitations before.

Sarojini Naidu was an amazing woman with a gift of expressive descriptions in her vivid poetry.

Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz challenged the assumption that women were "beneath" men in New Spain in the 1600s. Her writings were controversial and ahead of their time. After learning a little bit about her life, it'll become clear why many people consider her the New World's first feminist.

Before Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Dante or even Homer, there was Enheduanna. The Princess, priestess and poet that was the first person to write personal, first-person works. Not a lot is known, but I couldn't NOT include her in this series celebrating Women Writers. It's a shorter episode this week for this amazing woman, but hopefully still packed with new, interesting information that you find inspiring.

Please find us on Instagram @haveyoumetherpodcast to see see a picture of the artifact with Enheduanna's image on it.
