But when the Italian Mafia set their sights on her operation, it was all out war. Then, Kelley tells the story of Zheng Yi Sao, a highly organized pirate captain, terrorizing the South China Sea with brilliant efficiency. But when the Chinese government tried to put baby in a corner, they would face the full force of her wrath.

The ladies are kicking off a spooky season so big that it takes THREE gals to make it happen! Joined by Joy Scaglione of the Bite Sized Crime podcast, we're talking true crime, chronic anxiety, and Robert Stack's trench coat. Joy shares the story of a hometown horror- in 2006, 14-year-old Elizabeth Shoaf was kidnapped while getting off the school bus and held captive in a bunker. Determined to survive, Elizabeth worked to manipulate her captor and find a way to escape. Settle in for that Unsolved Mysteries marathon and break out the hand-drawn crime scene diagrams, because we're wining about herstory!

It's the most HORRIBLE TIME of the year! The ladies are dipping their toes in the dark waters of the spooky and unexplained this week with two truly terrifying tales. First, Emily shares the story of Mercy Lena Brown. When a mysterious illness ravaged the Brown family, the townsfolk of Exeter, Rhode Island, suspected a vampire was preying on the family- and the vampire was closer than anyone suspected. Then, Kelley tells the tale of Riina, a warrior woman of the Samoan Islands who, when two women were abducted by dude-bro ghosts, defied all expectations by rescuing them with her killer thighs. Question suspicious tonics and don't let weird dudes with whispering hair tell you what to do because we're wining about herstory!

The ladies may not know where or when they are, but they know it's time for some herstory! First, Kelley covers Martha Bernal, a Mexican American woman who took her experiences facing discrimination along with her career in psychology to pioneer a whole new field of mental health study and care. Then, Emily tells the story of Anna Coleman Ladd. As an artist during WWI, Anna was looking for a way to support injured soldiers, leading her to begin crafting some shockingly realistic masks.

Drugged up dogs, corporate evil, and copious amounts of birthday cake! Emily tells the story of Ellie De Castro who set out on a mission to find out who Nellie E. Brown, the namesake of her father's elementary school, was. The simple question took an international team two years to answer and was far from what anyone expected. Then, Kelley tells the story of Berta Cáceres, a Lenca woman in Honduras fighting to protect the environment and her ancestral lands. But when corporate greed and government corruption come together, the results are tragic. Grab your decanter of mystery whisky and keep the hope alive, because we're wining about herstory!

Same shit, different way! Kelley tells the story of Penelope Barker, a woman living in the American Colonies who capitalized on several husbands' (unintentional) deaths to raise her status, make her own money, and start the first women's led political movement! Then, Emily tells the story Phyllis Lumley, the woman behind the viral 1950s television clip who raised seven children with no arms and, most impressive, didn't need anyone to light her own cigarette. Described as 'A Mother in a Million,' was Phyllis really so different from other women of her time?
