This week we are highlighting a couple of badass ladies that we plucked out of the 2 books that came to our attention via listeners or followers of the pod - the first black librarian Belle da Costa Greene came from Lori's book, and from Karen's book, astrophysicist Dr. Maslan Othman!

April is Scottish Heritage Month, so we are covering an event in Scottish history...ahem...herstory...ahem...bitchstory (trust, they were called Bitches and then some!) ! that changed the educational options and career paths for millions of women that came after it. The Edinburgh Seven were a group of 7 women (there were more than 7 actually) who had to fight for their rights to attend med school. We'll cover who they were and what they had to go through.

This is a cautionary tale for American women, who are having their rights eroded in the 21st century at an alarming rate, while much of the rest of the world is progressing. Fight, bitches!

You know the saying…behind every great man…is a woman doing all the work and never getting mentioned. Isn’t that the saying?

Well anyway, we’ve created an imaginary reality show about the wives of the famous men of the Revolution.

Who is gonna be the table tipper? Any guesses?

I’ll upload sources later. I’m already behind on posting this :)
