Catcalling History

Today's episode is about a woman who is well-known in the Blackfoot Tribe. This is the story of a Native American woman who was a hero among her people. She ran with war parties, saved her father’s life, and may or may not have made a deal with the Sun. Listen in for the first ever “Tall Story” episode, a shorter and sweeter version of my regular talks, as I share the history of a female warrior named Running Eagle.

When you hear the name Jane Fonda you likely picture a gracefully aging star of a Netflix series, a fitness guru in leg warmers, or an anti-US rhetoric Hanoi Jane from the Vietnam War. The woman we’re talking about today is all of those things and more. If you never thought there was anything special about Jane Fonda, listen in to see if I can change your mind.

She was almost erased from history but despite someone’s best efforts, she’s one of the most memorable pharaohs of all time. Today we’re going all the way back to 1400’s B.C. to discuss the legacy of Hatshepsut. Fourteen centuries before the well-known Cleopatra, Hatshepsut would ascend to the throne by force and fight to stay there, having the longest reign of any Egyptian female and being one of the most successful rulers to boot. Listen in as I discuss why she’s a badass from B.C.

Join in as I tell the story of the radical decision by Soviet Russia to be the first country to allow women to engage in combat during WWII. I discuss the three air regiments that were created for these powerful women, their fearlessness, and their stories. I get into detail about who the Night Witches were and what they were up against (hint: it was more than just Nazis). This is my first podcast discussing a group of women as a whole instead of one woman specifically, you don’t want to miss this truly empowering piece of history.

Tallulah Bankhead is an Old Hollywood star that burned bright and fast. Known for her husky voice and witty remarks, she owned the stage but is most known for her antics off it. She was a strong supporter of civil rights, self-labeled ambisextrous, and five-pack-a-day rule breaker who scoffed at society's rules. Often considered a tragic tale, listen in as I tell her story and decide for yourself.
