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.

Abigail Adams lived the American Revolution as the wife of one of its central figures--John Adams. Her family correspondence, published along with a memoir by her grandson, Charles Francis Adams, brings that era into eloquent focus. What was it like to hear the cannon's roar from your window? to face pestilence? food shortages? rampant inflation? devalued coinage? to raise four children alone--and earn the money to keep your household afloat, while your husband was engaged in politics and diplomacy miles and oceans away . . . for years at a time? It's all there in her private letters, letters that were never meant for public eyes, letters that she repeatedly asked to be burned!Writing to her husband, Abigail expressed anguish at nearby fighting: June 18, 1775, 'Charlestown is laid in ashes . . . How many have fallen we know not. The constant roar of the cannon is so distressing, that we cannot eat, drink, or sleep.' Yet, she displayed constant fortitude: August 5, 1777, 'It is almost thirteen years since we were united, but not more than half that time have we had the happiness of living together. The unfeeling world may consider it in what light they please. I consider it as a sacrifice to my country . . .' And she enlivened her writing with pithy accounts of Revolutionary doings: July 31, 1777, 'You must know that there is a great scarcity of sugar and coffee . . . An eminent, wealthy, stingy merchant had a hogshead of coffee in his store, which he refused to sell . . . under six shillings per pound. A number of females . . . assembled with a cart and trucks, marched down to the warehouse, and demanded the keys, which he refused to deliver. Upon which, one of them seized him by his neck . . .' The women 'then opened the warehouse, hoisted out the coffee themselves, put it into the truck and drove off. . . .A large concourse of men stood amazed, silent spectators of the whole transaction.'Abigail's letters, letters of 'a vigorous mind,' are a fascinating read.

Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in which she argued that women are not naturally inferior to men, but only appeared to be because they lacked education. She suggested that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagined a social order founded on reason. - Today, Wollstonecraft is considered a foundational thinker in feminist philosophy. Her early advocacy of women's equality and her attacks on conventional femininity and the degradation of women presaged the later emergence of the feminist political movement. Feminist scholars and activists have cited both her philosophical ideas and personal struggles as important influences in their work. This is one of the 12 Books That Changed the World by Melvyn Bragg. (Summary from Wikipedia and Alex Foster) more

Jane Addams was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In a long, complex career, she was a pioneer settlement worker and founder of Hull-House in Chicago, public philosopher (the first American woman in that role), author, and leader in woman suffrage and world peace. She was the most prominent woman of the Progressive Era and helped turn the nation to issues of concern to mothers, such as the needs of children, public health and world peace. She emphasized that women have a special responsibility to clean up their communities and make them better places to live, arguing they needed the vote to be effective. Addams became a role model for middle-class women who volunteered to uplift their communities. This recording of her memoir Twenty Years at Hull-House commemorates the 100th anniversary of its publication, the 150th anniversary of Addams' birth, and was released on December 10th, the anniversary of Addams receiving her Nobel Prize.

Joan of Arc is a folk heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. Claiming divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII of France. Captured by her enemies, she was sold to the English and put on trial for charges of 'insubordination and heterodoxy'. She was burned at the stake for heresy when she was 19 years old. Twenty-five years after her execution, an inquisitorial court examined the trial, pronounced her innocent, and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is one of the patron saints of France. Most of what is known today of her story comes from the detailed court records of her trials. (Summary by timothyFR) more

En colaboración con la Coordinación de Universidad Abierta y Educación a Distancia de la UNAM (CUAED), Descarga Cultura.UNAM estrena la serie Vida y obra de…, en la que se podrá conocer el andar de diversos actores de la historia que, a pesar de las adversidades de su contexto, tuvieron la tenacidad para sobresalir y, desde su trinchera, aportar a la cultura y desarrollo humanos. Inicia esta serie con la vida de un personaje que, como lo asegura la escritora española Rosa Montero, 'fue pionera absoluta en todo': la primera mujer en doctorarse en Ciencias, en Francia, la primera en dar cátedra en La Sorbona y la primera persona en obtener dos premios Nobel en distintas especialidades —Física y Química—. Se trata de la científica Marie Curie, quien descubrió los elementos químicos Polonio y Radio y estudio el origen y las aplicaciones del fenómeno que ella misma llamó radioactividad. Todo esto suena impresionante, pero lo es aún más si se conoce en qué circunstancias logró todo esto, quiénes fueron sus aliados y quiénes sus detractores, cuáles fueron sus principales motivaciones, qué la turbó durante su vida y cómo logró hacer mancuerna, no sólo profesional sino de vida, con su compañero Pierre Curie. Agradecemos la colaboración musical de Ixchel Mosqueda Muñoz. D.R. © UNAM 2016 more
