Relatable to all feminist

This show is informative, captivating, and fun! Each episode is under 15 minutes and makes learning historical women easy! And the discussion section at the end really brings the whole show together! You gotta check this show out!

This podcast is simply lovely! Great unknown stories of female heroes that have been overlooked, but inspire to strive for better and make a difference. Episodes are short and creators very relatable. I recommend!
