This week on Lady History: In countless rap albums, history books, and late night talk shows these women have been misrepresented. For far too long these women's stories got told wrong. Now we are telling them right. Meet the bra-burning (?) birds of the 1960s, freedom femme Harriet Tubman, and awesome activist Monica Lewinsky.
