In this episode, Kelsie interviews Dr. Pamela Scully, a professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Professor of African Studies at Emory University, Atlanta about Sara Baartman, the Hottentot Venus. Scully is the author of "Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus: A Ghost Story and a Biography" from Princeton. She is Chair of the Committee on Gender Equity of the American Historical Association. Sara Baartman was displayed on the stages of Europe in the early nineteenth century. She was born in the Cape Colony. Her life was entwined with British colonialism and violence, the rise of freak shows, the rise of racial science and the legacies of racism for Black women around the globe. Her life also exemplified her complex navigation of oppression. Her life is a way into understanding the rise of particular ways of thinking about race and their entanglement with science as well as an example of colonialism and cosmopolitanism in places students might not expect. She was buried on South African's Women's Day and the return of her remains is also a story about the coming of democracy to South Africa after Apartheid. The court case she was involved in in London was used in one of the key trials in Guantanamo Bay in the 2000s.

S2E22: Were French women willing participants or collateral damage in imperialism? with Dr. Jack Gronau
In this episode Kelsie and Brooke learn from Dr. Jack Gronau about women in French Imperialism looking at their complex role and standing. The era of new imperialism in the 19th and 20th centuries is often discussed as a male-centric endeavor for resources, markets, and global prestige. However, as he explains, women are central to this topic, particularly feminists and women in civil society organizations. Gronau is a professor at Northeastern University. His dissertation was on this topic, titled, “French Women but not Citizens: Colonial Emigration, Imperial Prostitution, and the Colonial Press of French Feminists, 1897-1962." It explores how French feminists participated in the imperial project, both in the colonies and metropole, and how the empire influenced French feminism. Join us!

S2E12: Should we believe Anita Hill? with Hashtag History
Our friends Leah and Rachel from Hashtag History join us on this weeks episode to talk about their favorite topic: Anita Hill. While not a politician by trade, Hill became political and the turning point in a women's movement. Sexually harassed by her former boss, she was quiet until he was nominated for the Supreme Court. She went public and her testimony was heard around the world. In this episode we discuss whether we should believe Anita Hill and how her experience revealed gross social inequity in our country when it comes to whom we believe, whether the experiences of women and particularly women of color matter. A man was allowed to sit on the court having committed what today would be a fireable offense against women. His name is Judge Clarence Thomas and he is still on the bench.

S2E7: How did Maria Theresa transform modern Europe? With Dr. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger
In this episode, Kelsie and Brooke sit down with Dr. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger to discuss her research and upcoming book on Maria Theresa, one of the most powerful women of Europe. Maria Theresa is, like many historical figures, a complicated one. She is a woman judged for her gender before her merit, she ruled while a mother of 16 children and considered the grandmother of Europe as so many of her decedents went on to play crucial roles in future conflicts. She rules during the Enlightenment, abhors enlightened people, and yet likely was one herself. There is a prevailing mythology about her that endures, despite the fact that her reign is also known for its aggressive religious intolerance. She's complicated. We get into the nuances. You can find Stollberg-Rilinger's book at the Princeton Review.

S2E4: How did medieval women rise and why were they erased? with Shelley Puhak
This episode, Kelsie and Brooke learn from Shelley Puhak, author of a new book The Dark Queens: The Bloody Rivalry that Forged the Medieval World, which you can preorder now. The book is about two real life women who ruled most of Western Europe during the Middle Ages and none of us have ever heard of them, because that's what their successors wanted. Puhaks promotion reads, "Brunhild was a foreign princess, raised to be married off for the sake of alliance-building. Her sister-in-law Fredegund started out as a lowly palace slave. And yet-in 6th-century Merovingian France, where women were excluded from noble succession and royal politics was a blood sport-these two iron-willed strategists reigned over vast realms, changing the face of Europe."

We chatted with Dr. Roland Betancourt about his recent book, Byzantine Intersectionality, which highlights the Byzantine perspective on Mary of Egypt, the Virgin Mary, Theodora, rape, consent, eunuchs, gender, sexuality, and much more. You can find his book everywhere.

Episode 42: Sexual Assault and the Founding of Rome
TRIGGER WARNING. This week we dig deep into our culture and the stories we tell or chose not to tell. Women in the stories of early Rome were there but are almost absent in the teaching of its founding. Is it possible it's because rape permeates these stories? Would talking about rape and the historic examples allow us to address the present challenges presented by these topics? We learn about the kidnapping and rapes of women at the outset of the Kingdom of Rome and Lucretias rape at the hands of Sextus to end the Regal Period. Women were always there, you just have to be brave enough to teach it.

Episode 37: Taboo = Menstruation
This week we are talking about the most taboo subject of all-- menstruation. This is the beginning of a few episodes on women's health and understanding the stigmatization and lack of resources available to women for this monthly experience is a fascinating background to a deeper exploration into women's health.

Episode 36: Somebody's Wife and Hawaiian Missionary's Wives
This week we chatted with professor Michelle Stonis about her Master’s Thesis on the Wives of Missionaries sent to Hawaii. If you don't know this history-- you must— because it brings the full story of US acquisition of Hawaii to light.

She is the founding Co-Director of GCC's Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium. After receiving a two-year grant, this partnership bridges curriculum between the History and Journalism Departments as students are supported in reporting on the critical issues involving gender around the world. Stonis's own research focuses on the negotiated gender roles of 19th-century missionary wives, which earned her Best Thesis in the College of Liberal Arts award. She consults in the entertainment industry on feminist issues surrounding body image, intersectionality, and representation.

Episode 34: Burned Records and Black Women's Clubs
This week, Kelsie and Brooke chat with Dr. Melissa Blair from Auburn University about the history and origins of Black Women's Clubs. We get into the racism in some women's organizations like the WTCU and suffrage and learn some really unique anecdotes to history. Dr. Blair teaches undergraduate and graduate classes in U.S. women’s history, as well as undergraduate courses on twentieth century grassroots politics and the senior thesis course for history majors. She supervises graduate students working on U.S women’s history in any time period, and serves on graduate committees for a variety of 20th century U.S. and Southern history topics. Graduate students working with Dr. Blair have, in the past two years, had their work supported by the Five Colleges Consortium, the Schlesinger Library of Radcliffe Institute at Harvard, and the Adams Center for Military History & Strategic Analysis at the Virginia Military Institute. Prior to joining the Auburn faculty in 2015, she taught for six years at Warren Wilson College, a small liberal arts college in North Carolina.

This week, Kelsie and Brooke discuss the Mexican-American War-- one often glossed over in US History courses, but one central to understanding US imperialism and the manor of US expansion. Women's role is even less frequently discussed-- and less documented. Our guest, Dr. Cony Marquez informs us about the barriers to teaching this history-- and how it often has to do with what you look like-- and gives us a Mexican scholar's perspective on the war. Kelsie also referenced a few texts, cited below.

Episode 30: White Supremacy and the Black Panthers
Trigger warning: this episode refers to murder and suicide. Women represented 50% of the Black Panther Party, but women, schools, and food programs are not typically what comes to mind when one thinks of this party. Women sometimes get used to soften a groups image, and hidden to harden the image in our collective memory. But women were there the whole time. In this episode we talk about the role women played in the party and some important women who's lives and work continue today.

If teachers don't "get there" in the curriculum, it systematically leaves women out of the mainstream public sphere. Then Kelsie sat down with Senator Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire to talk about what it's like being a woman making history.

Episode 26: Getting Written Out and Alice Paul
This week Tina Cassidy is back to talk about Alice Paul, one of the better known women in history-- however, this was not the intent, there was an effort by some in the aftermath of the 19th Amendment to write her and her accomplishments out of history. Americans owe a great debt to Paul-- but her legacy is not without controversy, as she caved to southern white women who wanted segregated marches and more. Tune in to find out.

This week, Kelsie and Brooke chat about research into the wellness of Muslim-American immigrant children, and Kelsie shares some of her conversation with Dr. Suzan Al Abidi, an old friend. Abidi's 2018 study showed that Muslim mothers play an important role in helping children navigate difficult "cultural friction" and that girls have a unique experience which can keep them from getting the full educational experience, especially in PE. Abidi made one request: that people learn a bit more about Islam, so for the second half-- Kelsie and Brooke talked about important women in the founding of Islam. As always-- there's a lesson plan available.

Episode 24: Well Behaved Women and Early Christianity
This week, Kelsie and Brooke discuss how women who were well behaved rarely made history-- and then discussed how women joined the early Christian church in big numbers, and examined two women who defied the odds during early Christianity. Perpetua was a Christian martyr who gave her life for the faith before Rome adopted Christianity. Hypatia by contrast, lost her life to a Christian mob that expelled the Jews and Pagans in Alexandria. Their stories are unbelievable and show the centrality of women in history.

Episode 23: Hiding and Jackie O
This week, Kelsie sat down with Tina Cassidy to talk about how the stories of even iconic women like Jackie Kennedy Onassis go untold in history class. Brooke of course thought this was ridiculous. Of course, you can find lessons about it on our website.
Tina Cassidy writes about women and culture. In addition to Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson and the Fight for the Right to Vote, she is the author of Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born; and Jackie After O: One Remarkable Year When Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Defied Expectations and Rediscovered Her Dreams. A former journalist who spent most of her career at the Boston Globe covering business, fashion and politics, she is the Chief Marketing Officer of WGBH. Cassidy serves on the board of The Conversation US. She lives in the Boston area with her husband, the author Anthony Flint, their three sons, and a Norfolk Terrier named Dusty. You can read her work at www.tinacassidy.info.

Episode 22: Sarah, Mary, and Virginity
This week, Kelsie and Brooke celebrate the holidays by discussing the historic implications of the stories of Sarah and Mary-- two women over shadowed in the religious traditions by the men, but central in the stories. Their stories layout the views of God's relationship with women, women's role, and in the case of Mary, reveal an obsession with female virginity.

Episode 20: Mrs. So-and-so, Mrs. Eaton, and the Trail of Tears
In this episode, Kelsie and Brooke discuss Andrew Jackson and the women who revolved around his presidency. We start by talking about how difficult it is to track women, especially women who marry through historical documents and time because their names change so much. We then examine the elections of 1824, 1828, and 1832 to understand the nastiness of those elections and how Jackson's wife and mother were regular targets. Jackson's first cabinet dissolved due to a scandal that revolved around Peggy Eaton, the wife of his Secretary of War. In the second half, we talk about Jackson's legacy of native American removal and genocide. We tell the story of his final solution to dealing with the natives by reading oral histories from native women. Of course, we have a lesson plan for teachers on our website.

Episode 19: Feminist Pedagogy and the Triangle Fire
This week Kelsie and Brooke are talking about Feminist Pedagogy (Socratic Seminars) and The Triangle Fire. An alternate title could be circles and triangles... but it wouldn't make sense until you heard us out. Feminist teaching is where you break down structural and stigma-related barriers to all student participation and performance-- in this case to get more women into the field. We then do a deep dive into the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York and it's long term labor and governmental impacts and the debate over who was responsible. Teachers can find the inquiry on our website and peruse these primary materials organized by Cornell University (https://trianglefire.ilr.cornell.edu/primary/).

Episode 17: Blanks and Goddess Worship
This week we are talking about how huge portions of women's history are hard to know because so much is left blank. The biggest blank in all history is pre-history... and many women historians have tried to stake a claim there... suggesting that perhaps there was a time when women reigned supreme. Some argue that there was once a Great Goddess, worshipped above all gods. Obviously, this is disputed. So, as Brooke says, let's get into this.

Then we talk about the place in European history where women could get educated, the nunnery.

Episode 10: It's not about Feminism
In this episode Kelsie and Brooke celebrate 10 episodes, the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her fight for equal treatment under law. Further, they talk about how her case is just another example of calling human rights the dirty f-word, "feminist." Then we correct the narrative that "feminists are making up history to include more women" In reality, like with the warriors who fought against ancient Rome-- women were always there. It's not about feminism.
