This week, Sara brings us the story of Kadambini Ganguly, the first woman to graduate college, first woman admitted to an Indian medical school and the first female medical doctor in India! Her work wasn't limited to medicine, either. A champion for women's and worker's rights, Kadambini's socio-political impact on India was undeniably incredible.

Mary Baker Eddy did not have things easy. As a young girl, she was plagued with fits and ill health and then later much family tragedy made life even harder to bear. Mary found much comfort, though, in the scriptures and her study of them and this love of the the Bible would lead to her becoming one of the only women in modern history to have formed a major religion: Christian Scientists!
Learn more about Mary's incredible story of resilience and the grassroots work she did establishing Christian Science here in the US and abroad.

When Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina showed up on the doorstep of Fyodor Dostoyevsky to serve as his stenographer, helping him complete his next deadline, she had no idea that that life was about to change big time.
What follows is an unusual courtship and unexpected happiness for both of them, despite Dostovesky's significant challenges, physical, familial and otherwise. Their resulting marriage seems to be almost the opposite of the Tolstoy's, and yet much like Sofia Tolstoyana - Anna clearly was responsible for much of Dostoyevsky's success, both before and after his passing.
Listen now for the story of a woman who, against many odds, was able to pull her husband out of debt and poverty cycles and into the literary hall of fame.

Sophia Tolstaya never got a lot of fame or credit for all her accomplishments, in fact, she is generally reviled as famous Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy's b*tchy wife, but she was a brilliant talent and bright businesswoman herself. In fact, without her, Leo's work likely would never have been circulated so widely and successfully, nor would Leo have even been able to write such brilliant books - his characters draw inspiration from her, and her feedback deeply shaped the books and the mind of the man holding the pen.
In this episode we look behind those historic rumors to find a dirty smear campaign waged against Sophia towards the end of Leo's life, after his passing, and even beyond her death for another century. This episode is a fascinating (and heartbreaking) look at the building of a genius, and the destruction left behind in his wake at the expense of the woman who made him who he was.

Before Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, even before Edgar Allen Poe wrote his Tell-Tale Heart, the genre of gothic horror was brought forth out of the incredible mind of a 21-year-old woman name MARY SHELLEY.
Mary had already suffered quite a bit of loss in her first 21 years and her connection to death, grief, and the existential human story created not only the first novel of its' kind, but what would also become one of the most quintessential horror novels of all time.
Listen now to hear the full story of Mary Shelley's fascinating, and heartbreaking life, and the birth of her Frankenstein.

This week, Sara brings us the story of Alexya Salvador, the first transgender pastor in Brazil and all of Latin America, and the first transgender person to adopt a child in Brazil.
As a young child, Alexya found great solace and belonging in the Catholic Church, so much so, that she entered seminary to begin a path to priesthood. But as her studies progressed she uncovered deeply held core teachings that made her feel like a criminal just for being gay.
Alexya's story is one of overcoming the great sorrow of losing her faith in the church, only to discover the true face of God and a new church family, ultimately becoming a beacon of hope and light for all transgender people in Brazil and South America (who face increasingly hateful rhetoric & violence just for being LGBTQ+).

We're wrapping up Black History Month with the story of Carrie Johnson! During the 1919 race riots of Washington D.C., Carrie and her dad were holed up at home trying to stay out of trouble, but when white policemen barge into their home and their .38 rifle hits and kills one of the detectives, Carrie and her dad are carted off to jail and put on trial for first degree murder - a capital crime.
What follows is a strange series of events that is not particularly well documented, or at least the real underlying reasons aren't well known, but essentially her father turns on her in exchange for a case dismissal, so now 18 year old Carrie faces a potential death penalty sentence all by herself. What happens to Carrie? You'll have to listen to find out!

Continuing our celebration of Black History Month, guest Amelia Hammel brings us one of the most iconic Black Broads in American History - Harriet Tubman!
Born into enslavement, Harriet Tubman suffered great at the hands of her "owners" including, one night as a six-year-old, taking at hit to the head by a metal tub. This skull cracking moment would forever change her life - instilling her with a god-given mission to help free as many enslaved people as she could.
What follows is a lifetime of not only forging the Underground Railroad and helping almost a thousand people find freedom, but also a strong feminist voice in a world where non-white women's advocacy was seldom heard and never appreciated.

We don't know much about the life of Alice H. Parker, except that the cold New Jersey winter annoyed her enough that she invented the first natural gas heater and "zoned heating" - the foundational technology for modern HVAC systems!
Listen now to hear more about her groundbreaking invention, and what we know about this woman who created perhaps the greatest creature comfort humanity has ever known!

This week, Sara brings us Constance Baker Motley - The first black woman to try a case before the Supreme Court, to serve in the NY Senate, to be elected Manhattan Borough President, to be appointed to a Federal Judgeship and to be promoted to Chief Judge.
This powerhouse Broad was the role model for many of today's most prominent women of color in the Judiciary branch including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Vice President Kamala Harris, and it's NO WONDER! Constance not only wrote the brief for Brown vs. Board of Education, she also represented clients in almost all of the most prominent desegregation, fair housing, and other civil rights cases of the time, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after his arrest in Birmingham, winning 9 of the 10 cases she took to the Supreme Court. She is definitively a BROAD YOU SHOULD KNOW!

Chloe Skye join us once more for a (sadly) expected rant against the Academy. Yes, we did this not so long ago after Ms. Viola Davis was snubbed for her stunning performance in The Woman King but we find ourselves here yet again.
PLUS, since we spent a month in our own "Barbenheimer" series here it seems only right to give the world our own think piece on why the f*ck Greta and Margot, who LITERALLY made the whole Barbie movie happen, were shut out of the Oscars. Be prepared for us to throw some heavy shade at Patriarchy - it's what we do best on this podcast.

Dr. Jessica Wade came from a family of brilliant scientific brains, so it's no wonder she dove head first into science, too. The further she got into her studies, though, the more she realized how alone she was - there were hardly any other women with her in Grad school! In fact, statistically the UK's numbers of women in S.T.E.M. are some of the lowest in the world.
Jess, however, was not deterred. She finished her studies and her career has blossomed - but even more impressive is the fact that she has also become one of the world's #1 champion of women in S.T.E.M.. She talks with students, families and teachers, she nominates women for awards and prizes left and write, she gives away dozens of copies of the book that inspired her to activate these activist superpowers, but you'll never guess what her most powerful, and prolific, tool has been in her advocacy - WIKIPEDIA!
Listen now to learn more about this awe-inspiring Broad who Sara, quite frankly, would like to be best friends with.

The last election in New Zealand was accompanied by a huge wave of anti-indigenous & anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke is NOT having it. Despite her youth (she's only 21!) and lack of political experience, she has donned the mantle of her political and activist ancestors and ran for Parliament - beating her incumbent who had held the seat almost 20 years.
She is already fighting for the rights of Māori and she brings with her that Gen Z fire and absolutely zero f*cks. At her first address in Parliament on December 12th, 2023, she opens her speech with the Māori Haka - a traditional war cry - rallying all Māori in the room to fight for their rights in the face of the Nationalist Government seeking to dismantle the legislation that has been protecting them for over 180 years.
Listen now to learn more about what's going on in New Zealand and what Hana-Tawhiti is doing about it!

Wahoo! We made it through 2023!! The year wouldn't be complete without a Broads recap, though. Sara brings you a snapshot of some of the most incredible Broads we lost this year and all of their accomplishments, both for women specifically and all of humankind.
Then we take a dive into the United Nations’ Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: The gender snapshot 2023. A little intimidating for some, but absolutely CRUCIAL for really comprehending the true level of gender inequality and what it means for the future of women in the world - as well as what we can do about it!

We've got a fabulous 2023 recap episode brewing, but it's not ready yet, so today we revisit our (one and only) New Year's Broad: Betsy Ross! That's right - Betsy Ross was born on January 1st.
You may already know that Betsy Ross designed the first American Flag. But did you know that she increased sewing efficiency by switching from a 6-pointed star to a 5-pointed star, making it possible to create the stars with a single snip? Or that she was disowned by her Quaker family for marrying a man who was non-Quaker? Her life surrounding the creation of the flag was rife with tragedy, making her even more of a Broad You Should Know.

She rolls up her sleeves and becomes a SCIENTIST.

The research and discoveries she makes peering into her aquariums will end up shaking the foundations of what people understood about the Argonauta, but do the other scientists accept her radical new observations? You'll have to listen to find out!
