Works Not Cited

The Women of Fantasia

This month, it’s time for my required Disney history episode, as I dive into the history of the movie ‘Fantasia’ and the countless female artists, writers, performers, and more who helped to elevate the cartoon and bring this groundbreaking film to life. From comedian and singer Hattie Noel to story director Sylvia Holland, numerous women of Walt Disney Animation Studios contributed to this film, and many went uncredited. Tune in to learn more!

Daughters of the Great

To prove that my binge of Netflix’s The Last Kingdom was solely academic, for today’s episode of Works Not Cited, I’m discussing the lives of Alfred the Great’s daughters; Aethelflaed, Aethelgifu, and Aelfthryth. Though hard to find in the historical record, each of them ascended to a position of authority- they were the sole Lady of the Mercians, Abbess of Shaftesbury, and Countess of Flanders, respectively- and took part in late 9th and early 10th century nation building.

Dressing the First Lady: Women and the Fashion Trades in 1790s Philadelphia

I’m finally making my return to podcasting with an episode that breaks my starting rule (to not talk about women in 1790s Philadelphia) by talking about women in 1790s Philadelphia! Interested in learning about some of the female tradespeople behind Martha Washington’s fashion as First Lady? Take a listen to today's rambles! In all seriousness, it’s absolutely lovely to be back sharing history with all of you, and I’m looking forward to posting new episodes of Works Not Cited on the third Thursday of every month!

Bonus Ep: TV History and Wandavision!

Today, I’m continuing my end-of-season tradition of a nerdy bonus episode! This time, I’m diving into sitcom history through the lens of Wandavision, taking you episode by episode to talk about situational comedies ranging from the 1950s to 2010s! It’s my usual rambles but extra Marvel themed, plus some light architecture/material culture facts because I can’t help myself!

Descending into Darkness: Female Resistance in the sewers of Warsaw

For the season finale of Works Not Cited and the latest Open House, I’m taking you into the sewage system of Warsaw to explore women’s resistance to Nazi occupation between 1939 and 1944!! From couriers to nurses to smugglers, women throughout the city resisted in varied forms and took to the sewers to distribute supplies and information throughout Warsaw.
