  • Katharine Graham

    Katharine Graham
    Dec 12 2024
    Katharine Graham was the head of the Washington Post empire during a turbulent time in American history. After a personal tragedy catapulted her into the public eye (and the eye of the hurricane), she took on the doubters and became the most powerful woman in media history. She was an icon of resilience and determination, as well as embodying the belief that a cantankerous, vibrant, and free press is crucial to the very principles of democracy. Field Trip with us! We would love for you to join us in Philadelphia, PA June, 18-22, 2025! For information and to register, head on over to Like Minds Travel. We hope to see you there!

  • Pocahontas, 2024

    Pocahontas, 2024
    Nov 26 2024
    It's Thanksgiving and National Native American Heritage Month here in the United States so, this week, we continue our tradition of sharing this episode from 2017. Pocahontas' real story is much different than the romanticized versions of her life! At this time of year, here, when American History is told and retold over turkey and Ubiquitous Green Bean Casserole, we want to do our part to contribute to that conversation (even if we aren't involved in the "Is It Dressing or Stuffing" debate with you all.) US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs- for information and links about Native American Heritage Month and more. Looking to help support the show? Click the tasteful DONATE button on the right-hand side of our website, under the search bar! Thank you for all that you do for us! TheHistoryChicks.com Holiday shopping? We have a merch shop!

    Nov 13 2024
    We took fifty friends with us on our latest women's history tour to the City of Light! From a private nighttime tour of Versailles to a luncheon at Veuve Clicquot, through pastries shaped like apples at A. LaCroix patisserie and an ocean of glorious onion soup, we filled our suitcases with treasures and our hearts with joy. But perhaps the best souvenirs we all brought home were the lifelong friends we made along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
