Wining About Herstory

Welcome back herstory heroes for more tales of badass ladies from history! This week, Kelley and Emily talk summer plans and celebrate the fact that the Edinburgh 7 will finally be getting their degrees after 150 years! Kelley starts off by sharing the story of voracious intellectual Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz who became a nun so men would leave her and her books the fuck alone. Then, Emily talks about the bicycling exploits of Annie 'Londonderry' Kopchovsky who was the first woman to ride a bike around the world! Did we mention she also wore pants? What a rebel! So hop on your tubes and raise your glass, because it's time to wine about herstory!

This week, the ladies drink some sinfully sour Prayers of Saints chardonnay while chatting about glamor, Minnesotan culture, and Greek mythology! Kelley starts off by covering the legendary singer Peggy Lee who used a low, quiet voice to draw her audience in. (Did we mention she was in Lady & the Tramp??) Then, Emily covers the legendary courtesan Phryne who was entirely too sexy for people to handle and weaponized her beauty against the haters! Top off your glass and drink up because it's time to wine about herstory!

There were technical difficulties and scheduling issues. Nevertheless, the ladies persisted! This week, Kelley and Emily take a trip to old Hollywood to discuss two women who lived life out loud, even when the world didn't want them to. Gripping a repeat glass of Sangria, Emily talks about Hollywood legend, queen, and all around badass, Tallulah Bankhead! Though she had a rough beginning (and the most metal baptism ever,) dahling Tallulah managed to become a successful actress who was unashamed of her sexuality. Then, Kelley covers the amazing (if not a bit sad) story of Mercedes de Acosta who "had the most important women of the 20th century" and wrote the greatest lesbian kiss-and-tell book ever! Take your places and settle, because it's lights, camera, herstory!

Kelley and Emily narrowly avoid disaster as they (kinda) cover the same person! While splitting a bottle of Costco Sangria (so fancy) Kelley covers two of the first trans women to undergo gender reassignment surgery- Dora Richter and Christine Jorgensen! Then, Emily tells the story of the real Danish Girl, Lili Elbe (the third woman Kelley was going to cover!) who risked it all to realize who she was. Break out your skirt permit and play the world's worst drinking game cause it's time to wine about herstory!

This week, Kelley & Emily cover some radical, firecrackers who lived life to the extreme! They pair these feisty ladies with some Kung Fu Girl Riesling which is unexpectedly dry. Emily starts off with the story of Gladys Bentley an open lesbian and Harlem Renaissance entertainer who rocked a suit like no one else could! Her sexy songs were a controversial hit which transcended race and sexuality. Then, Kelley tells the almost-too-crazy-to-be-real story of Julie d'Aubigny who fought and sung her way through life, taking on a series of male and female lovers! She also knew that burning down a convent made a bigger impression on a lady than flowers. Grab your pants permit and your matches because it's time to wine about herstory!

The ladies are celebrating Pride by profiling LGBTQ+ women all month! They're kicking things off by covering two of the women who helped give birth to Pride and are too often overlooked: Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P. Johnson! They pair these revolutionary besties with a bottle of Matchbook syrah. Kelley starts off by telling the all-too-relatable story of Sylvia Rivera who fought for the most marginalized members of the community and was too radical and amazing for the mainstream. Then, Emily shares the story of Marsha P. Johnson who had nothing and still fought for equal rights, had an amazing catchphrase, and was a mother to those who had no one. Grab your Pride gear and get ready to rebel because we're taking wining to a whole new level!

It's Memorial Day and while everyone else may be kicking off the summer with cookouts and road trips, the ladies are sitting down, splitting a bottle of Insurrection Red Blend wine, and getting real about women who felt the call to serve and defied the odds to do so! Emily starts us off with the story of Cathay Williams, a slave who passed a series of SUPER CASUAL medical exams and posed as a man to fight in the U.S. Army under the laziest pseudonym ever. Then, Kelley relays the adventures of WWII spy, Virginia Hall whose exploits put James Bond to shame. Did we mention she fought the Nazis with a wooden leg named Cuthbert? Get to marching and ruin Barbie's day, because it's time to wine about herstory!

This week's episode is full of highs and lows but a bottle of Innocent Bystander Moscato gets us through it! Kelley starts off by sharing the FUCKING TRAGIC story of genius sculptor Camille Claudel who changed the art world forever, despite being overlooked and conspired against in her time. Then, Emily brings us back up by telling the elevating story of the Night Witches! This all female squad of Soviet pilots were so deadly, that the Nazis were convinced they were the result of scientific experiments! Fill up your glass and dust off your art history books, because herstory is about to get tipsy!

This week, the ladies mix things up to celebrate 10 episodes! Sharing a bottle of Liberation de Paris pinot noir (which might be the official wine of the Catholic Church,) Emily shares the story of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Christian mystic, visionary, and sexologist (WHAT??) who created a map of the universe based on the vagina. Then, Kelley looks back on 10 years of badass ladies and 10 of the most notable women of our generation. Emily also tries to bring Kelley to tears with a special surprise. Strap in and strap on because we're celebrating 10+ hours of empowered women!

On this very special episode, the ladies celebrate not only their mothers, but all moms and women who are working to make the world a better place! Emily & Kelley dive into a bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay (Emily's mom's favorite type of wine) and try to untangle the wires they got crossed to pull together this Frankenstein-esque episode. First, Kelly shares the story of her own mom, Sue, and how she met life's challenges with grace, tenacity, and a level of savyness that blows everyone away. Then, Emily shares a quick story of when her classy AF mom weaponized a glass of beer to fight misogyny in the 70s before diving into the turbulent and tragic story behind Mothers' Day (YES, S APOSTROPHE) and its creator, Anna Jarvis! Don your carnations and grab your irons, because it's time to cheers to all of the women who have fought to improve our world!
