About this listen

A new podcast celebrating and defending history's unruly women! Host Scarlett examines the lives of rebellious women who didn't obey the social mores of their time and were punished or at least defamed for it. Each season will take an in-depth look at one particular woman and examine whether or not her "Bad Girl" reputation was deserved. This is the first season, and it's all about Anne Boleyn.Copyright Scarlett World
