HERstory: Southeast Asia

In this episode, we’re going to meet the beautiful and ruthless Queen Supayalat. She has long been credited for the massacre of a hundred of the King's relatives to ensure her claim to the throne. But she would not hold on to power for long. Join us as we take you through the story of the last queen of Burma.
