    From Russia to Paris and Back – Ep.57

    You’d think we wouldn’t find a way to detour through the Russian Revolution and find a connection to Natalie Barney in the same episode, but you’d be wrong. In the life of Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, we do just that amid a background of economic ups and downs and the question of ‘do I giveContinue reading "From Russia to Paris and Back – Ep.57"

    The Forgotten Poet – Ep.56

    Lucie Delarue Mardrus once inspired a perfume mixed just for her, while a millionaire had a fortune’s worth of rose essence dumped in the wake of her ship one time she left port.

    Mother of Modern Dance – Ep.55

    The Italian Bernhardt – Ep.54

    Famous rivalries are not a new phenomenon. At the end of the 19th century, Eleonora Duse and Sarah Bernhardt graced the world stage, and according to critics, theatrically dueled over it. While similar, their acting styles and their stories differed, though some rumors have dogged both their biographies. Come find out why.

    Took the Uniform Too Far – Ep.53

    What do you think happens when a woman ambulance driver returns from the Great War only to find herself stuck on a diary farm?

    The Tip of the Fashy Lesbian Iceberg -Ep. 52

    Mary Sophia Allen is known as a suffragette turned pioneer policewoman in the UK, but she swerved onto a detour unlike many of her compatriots from the fight for women’s right to vote. Concerned with communism, nudity, and a narrowed focus on a subset of victims of human trafficking, she became a fascist in spiteContinue reading "The Tip of the Fashy Lesbian Iceberg -Ep. 52"

    The Sapphic Apologist – Ep. 51

    Radclyffe Hall is best remembered for The Well of Loneliness and the obscenity trials it spawned. This was in addition to supporting same-sex marriage despite hypocrisy.

    Imagine if She had Instagram – Ep.50

    Introvert scandal, exotic menageries as jewelry, costumes that put Lady Gaga to shame, and a resemblance to Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven’s antics, Luisa Casati had them all.
