I found this podcast a few years ago while looking for stories about powerful women. Katie and Olivia have a way of telling stories about women I would’ve never known existed. As women so often we only hear mens stories, as theirs were the only ones deemed worthy to be remembered historically. Getting to learn about powerful and influential women through such a fantastically researched and presented story telling is amazing!! I always feel so connected to the women who came before me. Thank you Katie and Olivia!
This is just the girl power podcast the world needed. I’ve learned so much about so many amazing women in just a few weeks (newbie). Anytime I come across a historical woman I want to learn about I always check to see if WHN has an episode on her. 10/10 would recommend! Also fun to listen while playing civilization 👀
The Seraphine of Senlis episode truly spoke to me. I love this podcast and finally caught up with all episodes. Each episode is eye opening, fascinating and truly informative. Katie and Olivia have a wonderfully enjoyable conversation about each woman featured. I love listening to the sisters and admire both of them and their podcast. I hope they keep up the excellent work.
