    Episode 384: Hoes of History: Patty McCormack

    Patty McCormack became famous as a child for playing one of the most unsettling little girls in movie history. But there was far more to her life and career than Rhoda Penmark in The Bad Seed. From her early days as a child actress and Broadway performer to her transition into adult roles, Patty built a career that stretched across decades. We'll explore her rise to fame, the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, the role that made her famous, and how she continued working long after many child stars disappeared from the screen. Because Patty McCormack's story isn't just about playing a famously bad little girl. It's about what happened to the woman who had to grow up after America watched her be terrifyingly good at being evil.

    Episode 383: Hoes of History: Hilma af Klint

    Hilma af Klint was painting the future before the world was ready to see it. A classically trained Swedish artist, she secretly created enormous, abstract works filled with geometric shapes, vivid colors, and mysterious symbols—years before artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian became famous for abstraction. Deeply influenced by spiritualism, séances, and the belief that she was receiving messages from beyond, Hilma produced hundreds of paintings that she ultimately instructed should remain hidden for decades after her death. When the art world finally discovered her work, it sparked a long-overdue reevaluation of who truly pioneered abstract art.

    Episode 382: Hoes of History: Anne-France Dautheville

    In the 1970s, when solo motorcycle travel was considered a man's world, Anne-France Dautheville simply decided she was going to ride into it. A French journalist, writer and adventurer, Anne-France first discovered long-distance motorcycle travel in 1972, when she became the only woman among dozens of riders in the Paris-to-Ispahan Orion Raid. She continued into Afghanistan and Pakistan, and returned to France determined to prove that she could go farther. In 1973, riding a small Kawasaki, Anne-France became the first woman to travel around the world alone by motorcycle. Her journey took her through Canada, Alaska, Japan, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and Europe, a roughly 20,000-kilometer adventure undertaken decades before GPS, smartphones or the conveniences of modern solo travel. But Anne-France's story isn't simply about motorcycles. It's about what happens when a woman refuses to accept the limitations other people place on her. After facing rumors and skepticism within the motorcycle world, she answered not with an argument, but with an even bigger adventure. She turned her travels into books, including Une Demoiselle sur une Moto and Et J'ai Suivi le Vent, and continued exploring the world on two wheels for years.

    Episode 381: Hoes of History: Enid Maude Lindeman

    Enid Maude Lindeman was born into Australia's famous Lindeman wine family and lived a life that seemed stranger than fiction. Later known as Enid Browne, Countess of Kenmare, she married four wealthy husbands—all of whom died before her—earning the tabloid nickname "Lady Killmore." But there was far more to Enid than scandal. She served as an ambulance driver during World War I, helped Allied soldiers escape occupied France during World War II, entertained royalty and Hollywood stars at her French Riviera estate, and lived a life defined by adventure, privilege, and resilience. Join us as we uncover the remarkable true story of one of the 20th century's most fascinating—and largely forgotten—socialites.

    Episode 380: Hoes of History: Liz Sheridan

    Liz Sheridan, the actress best known for her memorable roles as Jerry Seinfeld's mother on Seinfeld and the lovable neighbor Mrs. Ochmonek on ALF. But long before she became a familiar face on television, Sheridan was a talented dancer and performer pursuing her dreams on the stages of New York City. We'll trace her journey from her early years growing up in New York, through her career in theater and entertainment, and the challenges she faced as a woman building a career in show business. We'll also discuss her fascinating romance with James Dean years before he became a Hollywood icon—a relationship she later chronicled in her memoir. From Broadway productions and television guest appearances to her late-career success in two of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Liz Sheridan's story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and finding success on her own timeline.

    Alice Paul was one of the most influential leaders of the women's suffrage movement. From her Quaker upbringing in New Jersey to her education in England, where she learned militant protest tactics, Alice Paul dedicated her life to securing equal rights for women. We'll follow her journey as she organized historic marches, endured arrests and force-feeding while imprisoned, and played a pivotal role in the passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. But her fight didn't end there. Alice Paul continued advocating for gender equality through the Equal Rights Amendment and spent decades pushing for legal protections for women around the world.

    Episode 378: Hoes of History: Emily Warren Roebling

    Emily Warren Roebling helped build one of America's most iconic landmarks while quietly redefining what women were capable of in the 19th century.  Long before women were recognized in engineering or leadership roles, Emily stepped into a world dominated by men after her husband, Washington Roebling, became severely ill during construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. With no formal engineering education, she taught herself advanced mathematics, bridge construction, materials science, and project management to serve as his eyes, ears, and voice on-site. Through intelligence, resilience, and determination, Emily became the critical link that kept the project alive and ultimately helped bring the bridge to completion in 1883.
