About this listen

A podcast that unearthes, researches and highlights the untold, altered or erased accomplishments of women throughout history in the arts, sciences, academia, literature, politics, activism, business, battle, and beyond.

Join Maeve and Sage as we reconnect our audience with history by telling the stories of brave and bold female pioneers, while moving the conversations forward by discussing how the erasure or minimizatiom of women's achievements shape shifts and continues to this day. We invite our audience to learn how to be micro-activists in this world that is constantly changing and yet staying the same.

    Sage presents the fascinating life of Nellie Bly, a groundbreaking journalist and all around baddie. Maeve and Sage discuss the contradictions around working women both historically and in the present day, including the "trad wife" fantasy. They delve into the dark past of insane asylums, where Bly famously became embedded as a reporter, as well as the continuing insidious practice of silencing women by calling them "crazy.". Lastly, just how many trunks would she need to travel around the world in 80 days?
