We did not realize we had already covered professors before we recorded, so welcome to Professors II! It's a Herstroy first. Amy educates us on Maria Mitchell, an American astronomer, librarian, naturalist, and educator. Shelby discusses American feminist legal scholar, activist, and author, Catharine A. MacKinnon.

On this Party of One, Shelby discusses her thoughts on "bro code" and questions if monogamy is the natural state for women. It's a brief episode, but such an interesting topic to discuss.

Welcome to another Party of One. Amy tells us about some fascinating accessories made for women. Some you may be familiar with. Others may be news to you. Enjoy!

Today, we're celebrating the smarty pants - lady geniuses! Shelby covers American geneticist, Nettie Stevens. Amy tells us about U.S. Navy officer and a pioneer in computer programming, Grace Hopper. 

We love a lady who can keep a secret and fight the bad guys, all at the same time. Today, we talk about women involved in espionage. Shelby covers Virginia Hall, an American who worked with the United Kingdom's clandestine Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in France during World War II. She did all of her spying with a prosthetic leg. Amy tells us about Christine Granville, a Polish agent of the British Special Operations Executive during the Second World War, who also happened to be a beauty queen. 

Today, we tackle some awful and wonderful things that were made especially for women. There are some highs and lows, so buckle up.

On this week’s Party of One, Amy takes on a little tour of the Herstory of high heels. From Kings to Ladies of the 80s, heels have been around forever. 

Yeehaw! Time to honor those women who felt at home on the range. Amy educates us about Sally Skull, one of the first settlers in Stephen F. Austin's colony in the early 1820s. Shelby tells us about trick rider, sharpshooter, and rodeo queen, Fannie Sperry Steele.

This episode is gold, if we do say so ourselves, and that's why it's so apropos to cover lady alchemists. Amy tells us about the scandalous Anna Maria Zieglerin, an "alchemist" and a con artist. Shelby gives the juicy details about Italian Renaissance alchemist and writer Isabella Cortese.

This week, Amy makes her Part of One debut. She takes us on a journey of pants, trousers, pantaloons, and bloomers, and how they’ve been tied (and not) to women throughout history. Rebellion, shame, and fashion!
