Herstory

Everybody put on their black eyeliner and shoulder pads. The gals are covering 80s Icons! Amy discusses lady drummer sensation Shelia E while Shelby dips into the androgynous perfection that is Grace Jones.

Gobble, gobble Herstorians. It's our Thanksgiving episode, and we're dedicating it to lady Native Americans. Shelby discusses Dr Susan LaFlesche. That's right. She's a doctor. Amy tells us about civil right's activist Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich. She strings words together beautifully. Grab a piece of pie, and take a listen.

It's our YAAASSS QUEEN episode. Amy starts off with sweet Queen Carlota of Mexico. Shelby follows with intense Queen Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg. Enjoy a lot of fancy names and titles!

It's Shelby's birthday episode, so she picked a rage inducing theme: Women who rally against their own rights. Amy discuss the Antis - a group of anti-suffragist women. Shelby tells the tale of Phyllis Schlafly - the woman responsible for the takedown of the ERA. Try not to break anything while listening.

Let's go way way back...to the Days of Yore! Although Shelby and Amy had almost zero boundaries, their stories are eerily similar. Shelby covers Hurrem Sultan - the woman who went from slave to Sultana. Coincidentally, Amy tells us about Razia Sultana - empress regent of the Delhi Sultanate. You read that correctly. TWO SULTANAS!
