Ep12. From Slave to Soldier and The Most Danerous Spy

from Wining About Herstory · host Wining About Herstory

It's Memorial Day and while everyone else may be kicking off the summer with cookouts and road trips, the ladies are sitting down, splitting a bottle of Insurrection Red Blend wine, and getting real about women who felt the call to serve and defied the odds to do so! Emily starts us off with the story of Cathay Williams, a slave who passed a series of SUPER CASUAL medical exams and posed as a man to fight in the U.S. Army under the laziest pseudonym ever. Then, Kelley relays the adventures of WWII spy, Virginia Hall whose exploits put James Bond to shame. Did we mention she fought the Nazis with a wooden leg named Cuthbert? Get to marching and ruin Barbie's day, because it's time to wine about herstory!  ** Mornings with u by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeenMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US    Support the show10% Off Your First Month of BetterHelp: betterhelp.com/herstory www.buymeacoffee.com/wahpod Join the Funerary Cult: https://www.patreon.com/winingaboutherstorySponsor a Glass of Wine: https://buymeacoffee.com/wahpodGet Merch: https://wining-about-herstory.myspreadshop.com/  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
