    Margaret Partridge Lighting the Way

    Episode 5: Margaret Partridge Author Henrietta Heald reads: Margaret Partridge loved everything about engineering and devoted her entire professional life to its practice – and to encouraging and training young women engineers. In 1919 she founded her own electrical consulting business in Devon, whose purpose was to provide lighting and electrical power for local communities. ‘For sheer exciting experience,’ she wrote, ‘give me a town to light!’  Margaret was a moving force behind the creation in 1924 of the Electrical Association for Women, chief author of the popularElectrical Handbook for Women and a regular contributor to the EAW’s journal,Electrical Age.  Among the many female apprentices employed at the Devon firm of M. Partridge & Co. was Beatrice ‘Tilly’ Shilling, who would make her mark as an aeronautical engineer in the Second World War with an invention reckoned to have saved the lives of many airmen.

    Female Intuition

    Dr Judith Orloff and Madelyn Freeman discuss the intricacies of Female Intuition. The Power of Intuition with Dr. Orloff In this episode, Madelyn Freeman sits down with the renowned Dr. Orloff, a leading intuitive healer, to delve into the fascinating world of female intuition. Dr. Orloff’s unique blend of medical expertise and intuitive wisdom has made her a trailblazer in holistic healing, and today, we explore the science and psychology behind why women seem to possess a heightened sense of intuition. Research has long suggested that women are naturally attuned to emotional cues, a gift rooted in both biology and social influences. Dr. Orloff will share invaluable insights on the power of intuition, particularly how it can enhance our emotional and physical well-being. We’ll dive into the fascinating neuroscience behind intuition and the key brain structures that contribute to this ability. The conversation touches on the science of the corpus callosum, the brain's connector between the left and right hemispheres, and how women have a unique advantage in using this to multitask and access deeper emotional understanding. Join us for this enlightening conversation as we uncover how embracing and harnessing intuition can lead to greater balance and healing in our daily lives. Welcome, Dr. Orloff—let’s explore how intuition truly works.

    Rachel Parsons Pioneering Engineer

    Episode 2: Rachel Parsons Born in 1885, Rachel Parsons was a woman of ‘firsts’, breaking the boundaries of Edwardian convention. Scientific and technological genius ran in her family, and in 1910 she became the first woman to study engineering at Cambridge University. Her pioneering career continued during the Great War, when she was appointed a director of an engineering firm in Newcastle upon Tyne, then the powerhouse of British industry. Responsible for supervising the largely female workforce, she later joined the Ministry of Munitions and trained women around the country. In 1919, Rachel and her mother founded the Women’s Engineering Society to champion female workers in industry. To advance the cause, Rachel entered politics, winning a seat on the London County Council and standing for Parliament. But – regarded as a ‘difficult’ woman – her ambitions were thwarted, and her life ended in dramatic tragedy.

    🌍 Welcome to Episode 5 of the Madelyn Freeman Podcast: "Mankind, Womenkind and Humankind" 🌍 Join us as we embark on an exhilarating journey through time and thought, diving deep into the fascinating interplay between gender, power, and the evolution of humanity! In this captivating episode, we’ll explore the echoes of prehistoric beliefs through the eyes of scholars like Anne Marie de Rincourt and Elaine Morgan, who illuminate the magical reverence early humans had for female power and the profound mysteries of creation. How did the Earth Mother, once revered as the source of life, become overshadowed by the archetype of the wise old man? What revolutionary ideas did Darwin introduce that challenged centuries of patriarchal narratives? And most importantly, how can we transcend the age-old battle of the sexes to forge a future grounded in unity—the era of humankind? As we grapple with the startling reality of our world today—where the threat of nuclear annihilation looms over 8 billion lives—let’s ignite a conversation about the power of collaboration and understanding. Together, we’ll challenge the status quo and envision a path where intelligence and empathy lead the way to survival. Tune in for a mind-bending exploration that promises to provoke thought, inspire change, and remind us that the future of humanity hinges on our ability to embrace and uplift each other.
