Georgia O'Keeffe
Georgia O'Keeffe is known as the mother of Modernism; she created a vast body of work, always finding a novel way to express what she wanted to say through her art. After talking about Mary Cassatt, we were both drawn back to her story and thought you might like to revisit her, too. From 2018

Mary Cassatt
Mary Cassatt had always been an independent thinker. But once she became a member of the radical group of artists known as the Impressionists, she sidestepped expectations of gender (and the traditional rules of artistic expression) and forged a singular style that was all her own.

Althea Gibson Part 2
After decades of struggle against obstacles and expectations that would defeat most of us, Althea Gibson achieved international success in the world of tennis; breaking the color barrier at Wimbledon and opening the game to future generations of players. She built many bridges and fought the good fight in many fields of endeavor - we only wish that her admirers had made sure that Althea realized during her lifetime what an impact she had made on the world.

Jessie Tarbox Beals
According to Jessie Tarbox Beals - the first female photojournalist in the world - the key to success is mostly HUSTLE. In her case, it looked like this: arrive in a new town, set up a darkroom, canvas the populace, ingratiate yourself, SNAP SNAP SNAP, develop, print, deliver, catch the train as it's pulling out of the station...

Customer Reviews
Making History So Much Fun
I absolutely love this podcast! The hosts do a fantastic job bringing the subjects to life. I love learning about these women.
Starting again
Thank you Beckett and Susan. Your fun conversations continue to make history as fascinating and interesting as I always knew it was. For years, I could only find biographies of men and scant references to women. But then I came across your podcasts.
I started listening to you during the pandemic and have just gobbled them up. Sometimes two a day. I’m catching up to your current postings and feeling sad.
But I was reminded that, like a good piece of art, a fine book, or one of your excellently researched podcasts, I can always go back and start again. Yeah for 21st Century technology!!
Mary Cassatt episode
Someone online just explained to me that there is a woman who whispers, “Be extra careful” in most episodes. I thought I was hearing an EVP. Cool episode. Didn’t know much about her. Wished I had when I was a younger artist searching for role models. Many male instructors disparaged her as least important of the impressionists so I stupidly never investigated her at all beyond looking at her paintings when I came across them in museums. Always learn so much from this show.
