  • Remember the Suffragists: Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Zitkála-Šá, Mary Church Terrell, and Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez - S2E2
    Aug 26 2023

    This Women's Equality Day (August 26) marks the 103rd anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees voting rights for American women. Learn about Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, Zitkála-Šá, Mary Church Terrell, and Maria Guadalupe Evangelina de Lopez, four of the many women of color who participated in the suffrage movement. They did so despite the racist federal, state, and local laws and policies — not the 19th Amendment itself — that prevented most women (and men) of color from being able to exercise their right to vote.

  • Susanna Bolling - Revolutionary War hero with Libby McNamee - S2E1
    Jul 4 2023

    In May 1781, 16-year-old Susanna Bolling from Virginia canoed and rode horseback for 10 miles through the dark of night to warn General Marquis de Lafayette of a plan to capture and kill him, Governor Thomas Jefferson, and Commander-in-Chief George Washington. Without her heroism—which is completely missing from our history books—the war likely would not have gone in the Americans' favor. Join Elissa and Libby McNamee, author of Susanna's Midnight Ride: The Girl Who Won the American Revolution, for a conversation about this brave patriot.

  • Dolley Madison - First Lady of the Land - S1E13
    Dec 23 2022

    Though married to the fourth president, Dolley Madison was the first First Lady to embody the position as we know it today. She pretty much invented it, actually. She played an active role in her husband's administration, had a keen political sense, saved American treasures, and was the one of, if not the, most important women in the United States for decades. When she died in 1849, she was the last public figure from America's founding generation.
