We’ve all heard the phrase “reality is stranger than fiction” but does the same thing apply when we look at the past? The Making Myth podcast hopes to untangle fact from history, myth, legend and speak to how we assign meaning to our lives.

Join us on the journey as we transcend through the past and emerge with new understandings.

    In 1791, French writer and feminist Olympe de Gouges published The Declaration of the Rights of Woman. She declared it was time for women to have equal rights and called them to demand a place in the National Assembly. The French Revolution saw France torn apart by turmoil and Olympe was right there, calling out the injustices needing to be fixed.

    Olympe wrote plays calling for the abolition of slavery and advocating for women's autonomy, rubbing elbows with the elite in the fashionable salons of Paris. She ignored the warnings of her friends when she began making powerful enemies. Revolutionary figures including Robespierre and Bourdon attacked her for being too outspoken.

    She met her end by the guillotine on November 3, 1793. As Revolutionary politicians attempted to erase her legacy, Olympe's voice prophetically echoed from her tomb. Today, she's remembered as one of the most radical feminists that called for reforms that weren't realized until 200 years after her death.

    Come along with us as we explore Olympe's writings, life, and legacy through history and astrology!

    Episode 22: Charity Bryant & Sylvia Drake – An Early American Love Story
    2026/06/13

    Love what you hear? Send us fan mail!

    On a cold February day in 1807, Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake met for the first time. In era where women were expected to marry men and become mothers, they would spend the next 44 years building a life together in rural Vermont until Charity's death in 1851.

    As teaching opportunities for women expanded after the American Revolution, Charity and Sylvia embraced the independence those careers offered. Charity was subjected to fierce gossip because of her "mannish" appearance and intense romantic friendships with other women. When Sylvia moved in with her sister Polly in 1807, she was dodging questions about when she'd get married.

    Come along as we explore queer identity, romantic poetry, and gender roles in Early America through history and astrology to celebrate Pride!

    This episode contains discussion of sexual content.
