概要

Women's history doesn't have be boring or depressing. I tell the stories of extraordinary women in history, including queens, slaves, spies, scientists, artists, wives, mothers, and more. But most women didn't leave us enough material for a biography, so I also tell you what it was like to be an ordinary woman, including what they wore, how they did housework, how they worked, and how they played.

In short, what were the women doing all that time while men were writing the standard history books? This podcast will tell you what those history books forgot to mention.

  • Roman Women and No Taxation without Representation (ep. 17.2) (rebroadcast)

    Roman Women and No Taxation without Representation (ep. 17.2) (rebroadcast)
    2026/10/22

    In 42 BCE, the Roman government was in the midst of Civil War and one faction tried to fund it by taxing its women. Roman women banded together and said, nope, we don't want to pay taxes to fund a civil war. Hortensia's speech to the Roman senate applied a logic that was used millennia later by other groups of rebels: No taxation without representation.

    Sadly I am unaware of any actual picture of Hortensia, so the feature image is not actually of her. It’s actually an unknown woman, portrayed in a fresco in Pompeii, so just a little before Hortensia’s time. It’s commonly called the Sappho fresco, though there is absolutely no reason to think this Roman woman was supposed to be the Greek poet.

  • Vestal Virgins: Sacred Women of Rome (ep. 17.1)

    Vestal Virgins: Sacred Women of Rome (ep. 17.1)
    2026/10/15

    The Vestal Virgins were right at the heart of Rome's self-image. The mother of Romulus and Remus was a Vestal, and throughout Romes thousand-year history, the Vestals were charged with guarding the sacred flame of Vesta, which kept Rome safe and strong. This episode goes through the origins, the selection process, the duties, the pitfalls, the privileges, and the end of the Vestals.
