In episode thirteen of Heroine City, host Lynsey Shaw welcomes Professor Ted Vallance through the gates to talk about the 17th-century British political landscape and the role of women in the Civil Wars, in particular the fascinating lives and escapades of she-intelligencers Jane Whorwood and Lucy Hay, Countess of Carlisle. They discuss everything from band names to saucy letters from King Charles I and the myriad ways in which the wars opened up women's political roles and the idea of religious tolerance on a level never seen before.

Warning: Contains discussion of a sexual nature.
