Herstory

BEWARE: This spooky episode should be consumed with the lights on. Amy delivers the scary tale of The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. It's old-timey. Shelby goes all early USA with the sad story of Theodosia Burr Alston. Lock the doors, grab a friend, and enjoy.

We're in the spooky season, so let's talk about spooky things. Shelby and Amy discuss women that just want to be left alone. (We get it.) Shelby shares the inspiration for Dickens' Mrs. Havisham in Great Expectations - Eliza Emily Donnithorne. Amy tells the INSANE tale of New York socialite Ida Mayfield Wood. Shut the doors and draw the curtains while you listen.

Get outta town! Or out of the country. This week, we study expatriates. Amy discusses everything Josephine Baker while Shelby serves up a bunch of stories about Gertrude Stein. Grab your passport, and let's go!
