Separated by centuries but united by boldness, Empress Theodora and Lola Montez shattered societal expectations to transform scandal into power. In this episode, we explore how each woman defied the odds, using wit, ambition, and sheer will to rise above the roles society tried to force upon them. Their stories remind us that sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the greatest influence.
