About this listen

Discover the untold stories of history’s royal women, women who broke boundaries, flouted convention and reshaped what it meant to be a woman.

In each episode, we look at the life and legacy of a different royal woman. We explore her life and discuss the obstacles she faced, her legacy, and the lessons we can take from her life—lessons that we believe are still relevant today.

Along with these more biographical episodes, we’ll also explore a variety of interesting female-centered topics in supplemental episodes.

Tune in on the second Monday of the month for stories of resilience, strategy, and empowerment, with your hosts, Jess Dickey and Dr. Gregory M. Shreve.
