Two empires, both alike in dignity, but reigned by very different iconic women. One ruled Enlightenment Russia in the 18th century, the other built her country music empire over the past 60 years in the United States.
Neither woman was destined for greatness from birth but they both fought tooth and nail to reach the very top, clambering over significant men in their lives to do so. But they aren't just power hungry blonde bombshells with larger than life hairstyles, both have a genuine interest in philanthropy, championing charitable causes close to their hearts to become 'women of the people'.
Underestimate them at your peril!Sources:

And as Hole's front woman, Courtney Love courted controversy as the first lady of the grunge scene in the 1990s. Join us as we delve into their doomed romances, emo tendencies and rebellious natures.

It’s time to get physical, metaphysical! As we delve into the lives of poetess and playwright, Aphra Behn, and comedy supernova, Phoebe Waller Bridge. With their bawdy humour and licentious attitudes, these two set the London theatre scenes of the 17th and 21st centuries alight. But we’re not just comparing them for their raunchy repartee OHH NO! This pair are also connected to the world of spies. We promise you this episode will have been worth the wait!

For as long as we've told stories, we've told stories of swashbuckling heroes, usually men. Not anymore. Come with us as we explore the unparalleled career of 19th century female pirate Ching Shih and modern day astronaut Christina Koch.
An Interview with Surfer and Astronaut Christina Koch
Both of these women have pushed boundaries to excel in spheres almost always dominated by men. But most importantly, would you rather go to the loo on a pirate ship or a spaceship? Join us as we dissect the important stuff (and the toilet situation!)

Women have been cancelled since the dawn of time it seems (looking at you Eve) and our latest female figures are no exception. In this episode we explore the banishment and de-platforming of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire and pop star Taylor Swift.
One was shunned by high society, the other driven into hiding by a social media storm. But why is it that women often find themselves so brutally cancelled from society? And once cancelled, is there any way to gain back what you've lost?
Join us as we discover how these ladies rode the wave of mob mentality and made it out the other side.
