Shared History

...she's going to get some blood on her hands. We're joined by Dr. Emily Romeo for a story of bad, bloody, babe, Hannah Duston. Hannah's story is one of many Dr. Romeo writes about in her book "The Virtuous and Violent Women of Seventeenth-Century Massachusetts."

Dr. Romeo received her PhD from the University of Chicago, she is a current history faculty member at DePaul University.

Order her book on Amazon or from a wonderful independent bookstore. Book comes out 8/28/2020, currently available for pre-order.
