Hannah Hoch was an artist who just wanted to create pieces that meant something to her. And so she did. Join me to explore the world of Dada Art and hear about this amazing woman who was called a "good girl" by her male peers during her life... and a complex, funny critic of mainstream and art-world misogyny now.

We’re highlighting women artists this month and we’re starting strong with the first African and Indigenous American artist (of any gender) to become an internationally celebrated sculptor. Her legacy was lost for almost a century…. But we are lucky enough that she has been rediscovered and serves as an inspiring example of overcoming obstacles and pushing towards a goal at a

We're getting "PUNK"-y this week and talking about the front woman of the punk band X-ray Spex. She didn't fit in anywhere, and had thoughts, feelings, and ideas to share with the world... so she grabbed a microphone and sang about them.

Today’s episode was inspired by my son (and special guest!) who heard about Hazel Scott and made sure that she was on my list of women to research. She wasn’t just an incredibly talented musician, she was also a champion of civil rights. Hazel is the perfect woman to kick of our series this month celebrating Women in Music.

Join me to learn about the first (and last!) Queen Regent of the Hawaiian Islands. Queen Lili’uokalani took the throne during one of the most trying times in Hawaii history. She loved her kingdom and its people and led with peace and humanity. She is a shining example of staying true to your vision, sacrificing for those who trust you, and adapting to a world that doesn’t see y

On today's episode we're going to be talking about a woman who was an outstanding military leader, a symbol of unity and strength, a freedom fighter... and a bit of an enigma. The history writers during her lifetime viewed her (and her people) as dangerous animals, and wrote of them as such; however, Jamaican Maroons speak of her reverently and still believe that she looks

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about a Celtic queen who led a revolt against Roman rule in ancient Britain. She is now considered a national heroine and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence.
