This week on Lady History: Unfortunately, because of a family emergency on the team, this week we do not have a main feed episode to share with you. We didn't want to leave you with nothing to brighten your Thursday, so here is a special, unlocked episode from our Patreon show "Herstorytime". This episode is on museum exhibits we would make if we had all the freedom to design whatever we wanted. 

Herstorytime episodes come in a variety of forms, ranging from "cut content" clip compilations to newly recorded episodes on movies, museums, and more! Each episode is approximately 20-60 minutes long. They are more "chill" than our main feed episodes, and we hope they feel like having a friend in your ear hole. If you want more, sign up to our Patreon as a Sensational Superfan or Confident Contributor.
