Today we're talking about cars... specifically, how much everyone hates to have car issues. While there exists an amazing Automotive Clinic in Philadelphia that is founded and ran by women today, have you met the woman who, in the 1920s opened a woman-run garage in Australia? Alice Anderson was certainly WAY ahead of her time.

Join me this week to hear about a woman who lived life with an intensity that most of us only dream about. Dervla refused to live by anyone else's standards or expectations, and at 31 decided that it was time to live her dream of riding her bike from Ireland to India. Her adventures are documented in her many, many travel books, but what she did best was see the beauty in the truth of places. She believe that travel writers had a responsibility to tell the truth and with these goals in mind, she became a chronicler of the world.

I loved learning about Dervla and hope that you do, too!

In every era there are people who are othered, silenced or scapegoated. The details change, but the pattern remains. And that's why telling Moll Dyer's story is not just about folklore, its about empathy. It's about remembering Moll Dyer and saying firmly - "We will not forget the women history tried to burn, bury, or freeze out of existence."
