TW: We discuss sexual abuse and mental health including suicide in this episode.

In this episode, we dive into the lives of the two famous sisters of the revolutionary Bloomsbury Group, Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell. Woolf as many of you may know, is a famed author known for her many novels and writings, along with her many love affairs with women. Her older Sister Bell is less known but still carries a lot of weight in influence through her paintings as some of the first female experiments in abstraction, and with early feminist work that made its mark. These two are notable and definitely worth knowing more about.

Although there may be a slew of reasons we give ourselves, in reality, it's mostly sexism. In this episode, we dive into the history, stigma, criticism, and praise surrounding the romance novel genre, and all the reasons we should love them for what they are, and stop describing them as something they are not.

We've all heard of the Starlets from the Hollywood Golden Age and they've reached a level of icon that is completely unheard of and unmatched even today. However, do we know about their lives? Do we ever consider the nuances of the way they're perceived? In this episode, we dive into the lives of four of the world's biggest stars, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Doris Day. We also talk about how these four women were shoved into stereotypes, with contracts stricter than the Disney channel, and how they're consistently screwed over by the media, even today.

This week, Stauney shines a light on the immensely underappreciated Sonia Delaunay. Her story isn't just captivating due to her engaging personal life and delightful partnership, but also because she spearheaded the Orphism art movement, setting the stage for the evolution of abstract art. Stauney and Sadie discuss beyond her artistic contributions where Delaunay made her mark as a versatile designer, venturing into set, costume, and fashion design. She founded several companies and crafted textiles that likely played a role in shaping the weaving style synonymous with the Bauhaus school.
