Giving Credit To History’s Disregarded Women

Women’s accomplishments across history are often dismissed as exceptions. But why are most scientists, reporters, sports stars, politicians, and businesspeople all men?

Allison Tyra joins us to discuss the 600 women she’s re-inserting into the historical narrative with her book Uncredited: Women’s Overlooked, Misattributed and Stolen Work.

Canadian History: Thanadelthur, the Peacemaker

Because of wildfires affecting northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, I’m re-releasing this episode about a woman who lived in these areas: Thanadelthur. She was a Dene woman who had a profound impact on the Dene people in Northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba during the eighteenth-century fur trade. Much of Thanadelthur’s story is shared through oral storytelling among the Dene community. Our guest for this episode is Rosalie Tsannie-Burseth, a member of the Hatchet Lake Dënesųłiné First Nation in Treaty 10 territory.

Movie Discussion: Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

Dangerous Liaisons (1988) is a movie based on a play based on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s novel from 1782. What does this have to do with the French Revolution? Lots, including that Marie Antoinette herself owned a copy of this novel.

I’m joined by Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times movie reviewer and co-host of Unspooled to talk about this movie and also the pros and cons of how movies are the way many people learn about history.

French Revolution: Radicals (part 6): The Secret Female Journalist

Manon Roland was a super-smart bookworm who amazed those around her from an early age with her intelligence (and strong opinions). When the French Revolution kicked off, she sent letters from Lyons to Paris to keep people updated on the latest news. She also got on the wrong side of Robespierre, which didn’t go well.

Movie Discussion: Conclave (2024)

To celebrate Pope Leo XIV, I pulled this out of the Patreon vault so everybody can enjoy our spoiler-filled discussion.

Last year when the movie Conclave came out, Allison and I both went bananas. Little did we know, it would later be nominated for numerous Academy Awards, or that there would be an IRL conclave, or that the new Pope would be from Chicago WHERE ALLISON LIVES???
