About this listen

 This podcast is all about the women who have made history but rarely make it to your history classes. Each week we talk about the life and achievements of a woman who has made history in some way, from the movie star who helped create Bluetooth to the Queen who fearlessly battled the Romans. Join me as I do a deep dive into the over-achievements of the chronically underestimated.Copyright 2021 All rights reserved. World
