Christmas looks like it belongs to men — Santa, Jesus, the Wise Men, even Frosty — but the holiday itself has always been built, carried, and saved by women.

In this episode of Bitchstory, we reclaim Christmas for the girls, the gays, and the theys by telling the stories history tends to forget:
the women whose words, labor, courage, and organizing shaped the holiday as we know it. In this episode we'll discuss 4 (of many!) women who have made Christmas into the nostalgic, magical time of year we know it as today.

From Victorian England to WWII France to Jim Crow Alabama to the North Pole, this episode reveals a truth hiding in plain sight:
Christmas has always run on women’s work.

So pour the eggnog, light the candles, put up your feet (you've earned it!!) and join us for a historically accurate, slightly unhinged, feminist retelling of the season.

They were called the Glow Girls — until their glow started killing them. In this episode, we dive into the haunting story of the Radium Girls: the teenage dial painters who trusted their employers, lip-pointed their brushes, and unknowingly swallowed enough radiation to light up a dance hall. Their bodies became evidence, their fight became historic, and their courage forced the first real conversations about worker safety in America.

Back in the 1970s, when women were still told they needed a husband or father to sign for a loan, a group of bold Denver women said no more. They founded The Women’s Bank of Denver to claim not just access to money—but power. In this episode, we unpack how they built a bank from scratch in 1978, how they rewrote the rules of finance for women, and what their legacy means for us today. Expect feminist fire, financial clarity, and a blueprint for breaking ceilings made of glass and dollars. (Plus a surprise appearance from mini McBitch)
