About this listen

In this special interlude, Harmonia pauses our journey to help you see a turning point in history: the moment when ordinary people-mostly educated women without formal power-stepped into the cracks left by industrialization and began stitching a new social fabric. Their small, persistent acts of care grew into the foundation of the public norms we live by today: child protection, public health, humane treatment of the vulnerable, and the belief that society bears responsibility for all its members. This episode prepares the way for the remarkable reformers we are about to meet, each of whom helped widen the moral circle in ways still felt in our world.
