Her Half of History

Women's history doesn't have be boring or depressing. I tell the stories of extraordinary women in history, including queens, slaves, spies, scientists, artists, wives, mothers, and more. But most women didn't leave us enough material for a biography, so I also tell you what it was like to be an ordinary woman, including what they wore, how they did housework, how they worked, and how they played.

In short, what were the women doing all that time while men were writing the standard history books? This podcast will tell you what those history books forgot to mention.
