    Olympe de Gouges (with Leah Redmond Chang)
    Apr 16 2025
    For the next seven weeks, we'll be looking at women who were actively involved on the Revolution side of the French Revolution in a miniseries we'll call Liberté, égalité, sororité: You Can't Stop The Women of the Revolution! We're starting off with one of the most well-known women of this era, Olympe de Gouges. Guiding our discussion/ explaining the French Revolution (because it's very confusing to me) is return guest and friend of the podcast, Leah Redmond Chang!

  • Canadian History Minute(s): Esther Brandeau aka Jacques La Fargue

    Canadian History Minute(s): Esther Brandeau aka Jacques La Fargue
    Apr 11 2025
    Esther Brandeau was a Jewish teen from France who (in true Catalina/Antonio de Erauso style) dressed in boy's clothes, chose a very fun pseudonym, and got a variety of jobs on ships. This is how they became the first Jewish person to set foot in Canada (though they didn't stay long). Image is from the cover of Sharon E. McKay's novel Esther (artist unknown).

  • Belle Elmore and the Music Hall Ladies Guild (with Hallie Rubenhold)

    Belle Elmore and the Music Hall Ladies Guild (with Hallie Rubenhold)
    Apr 9 2025
    Belle Elmore was born in a Brooklyn tenement and became a star on London's music hall scene. She devoted herself to fundraising for the Music Hall Ladies Guild and formed close friendships with her fellow performers. And then she was murdered by her husband. Author Hallie Rubenhold explores Belle's life and death in her new book Story of a Murder: The Wives, the Mistress, and Dr. Crippen. Hallie joins us on the podcast to share Belle's story, and why she deserves to be seen as much more than just a murder victim.

Ann Foster you are perfect, never change.

This is one of my favourite podcasts. Very astute and entertaining. Presents accounts of the interesting yet not well known women (and others) of history in a way that is very relaxed, funny and accessible. If you are a misogynist you will hate this podcast. 10/10
