Feminist friends Keegan and Madigan use humor (and wine) to take on issues facing women and the world.

Women make up half of the world's population, and yet history books often consign them to the sidelines. They are dismissed as merely the wives of powerful men; babymakers and nothing more. Yet women have been the driving force behind history for millennia, from female Pharoahs, warrior princesses and pirates, to the revolutionaries who sought to topple the male-dominated political systems of their day. From host of the popular 'Queens of England Podcast', The Other Half tells the forgotten and ignored stories of the most powerful and influential women in history. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Duchess - the podcast in which the Duchess of Rutland explores the historic homes of Great Britain, and meets the inspiring women who lead them today. Have you ever watched Bridgerton, The Crown or Downton Abbey and wondered what it's really like to be a Duchess? If so, this is the podcast for you. Stately homes are manors, palaces, and castles of great historic significance. They were built by the finest architects, adorned with the finest treasures and surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. They were homes to the most powerful families, their wealth and social pedigree shaped the world we live in today. Emma Rutland grew up far away from the world of the aristocracy, but her life changed forever when she married her husband - the 11th Duke of Rutland - and moved into Belvoir Castle. At once Emma became both a Duchess and custodian of one of Britain's most important buildings. The Duchess wanted to learn more about this world, these homes, and the other inspiring women who, just like her, work tirelessly to ensure they see tomorrow. In this podcast the Duchess will travel to breathtaking homes, learn the epic tales of their construction, meet the historic figures that walked their halls, hear chilling ghost stories and the heartbreaking tales of romance. All of this whilst getting to know the inspiring, powerful women that work to find the delicate balance between preservation and transformation. Join Emma on a very special journey. This is Duchess, the podcast. more

For every Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin whose story has been told, hundreds of female scientists remain unknown to the public at large. In this series, we illuminate the lives and work of a diverse array of groundbreaking scientists who, because of time, place and gender, have gone largely unrecognized.

We also bring these stories to the present, painting a full picture of how her work endures. more

Why don't women's clothes have more pockets? When and where did someone decide that men shouldn't wear skirts? How does a girl go about seizing control of an evil empire?

I explore these and other questions in this thematic approach to women's history. more

Mutige, liebenswerte, STARKE FRAUEN, die Vorbilder nicht nur für Mädchen und Frauen sind es gibt sie hier im Podcast aus der Sicht von Cathrin und Kim. In jeder Folge erzählen die beiden die Geschichte einer Frau, die inspiriert und Mut macht.„Welche weiblichen Vorbilder hast du eigentlich?' Diese Frage stellte Kim an Cathrin und es fiel beiden schwer mehrere Frauen ad hoc zu nennen. So begannen sie nach starken Frauen, die als weibliche Vorbilder dienen, zu recherchieren und sich gegenseitig eine Starke Frau vorzustellen, inspiriert von dem Buch 'Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls'. So entstand die Idee für diesen Podcast: Cathrin und Kim wollen Starke Frauen sichtbar machen. Sie stellten sich in jeder Episode eine Starke Frau vor: berühmte Starke Frauen und Starke Frauen der Weltliteratur wie z.B. Coco Chanel, Astrid Lindgren, Cher, Shirin David, Rosa Luxemburg, Angela Merkel, Esther Bejerano, Eleanor Roosevelt, Isabel Allende, Britney Spears, Annalena Baerbock, Katharina die Große, Queen Victoria, Waris Dirie, Änne Burda oder Tina Turner vor.Cathrin und Kim interviewen in diesem Podcast auch Starke Frauen wie z.B. Tijen Onaran, Fee Brembeck, Simone Menne, Anissa Brinkhoff, Katharina Aguilar, Louisa Dellert und wollen ebenfalls weniger bekannte Frauen sichtbar machen, wie z.B. Aisholpan Nurgaiv, Ada Lovelace, Ngozi-Okonjo-Iweala, La Malinche, Seyran Ates, Walentina Wladimirowna Tereschkowa, Temple Grandin, Vera Birkenbihl, Eva Illouz, Nancy Wake, Loujain Al-Hathloul, Nawaal El Saadawi oder Alfonsina Strada vor. In Sonderfolgen besprechen sie auch Wünsche aus der Community, wie z.B. 'Sexismus und Rassismus in Kinderhörspielen' oder 'fiktive Charaktere wie Lara Croft, Dana Scully, Spice Girls oder Hermine Granger als role models'.Inzwischen ist damit eine lange Liste Starker Frauen entstanden, und geben damit Einblick, was Starke Frauen ausmacht: Starke.Frauen.Machen. Starke Frauen, die inspirieren. Starke Frauen der Geschichte, Starke Frauen der Welt. Die Stärke der Frauen steht hier im Fokus. #starkefrauen #starkefrauenbrauchtdiewelt #starkefrauenunterstützenfrauen Möchtest Du Cathrin oder Kim auf einen Kaffee einladen und dafür die Episoden werbefrei hören?
