Undressed Historia

While having issues researching a future episode, I binge-watched season one of Hulu's Harlots and I could not stop thinking about it. This episode does not discuss the show but it does discuss female sex workers of 18th century London. Where did these women come from and what caused them to be apart of the sex industry? Was it empowering or oppressive? All that and more in this episode of Undressed Historia. click here for show notes [https://undressedhistoria.podbean.com/p/show-notes-1513129906/]

Joan of Arc without a doubt was an impressive young woman; what she accomplished between the ages of 17 to 19 was more than most do in a whole lifetime. She overcame barriers of sex and class in Medieval Europe, but that wasn't her goal. She believed she had a God-given mission to rid her beloved France of the English. Listen in as we go over the Maid's life and touch upon the circumstances that led to her death sentence. click here for show notes [https://undressedhistoria.podbean.com/p/show-notes-1513129906/]
