Ep14. A Perfect Piece of African Sculpture & A Convent Buring Opera Singer

This week, Kelley & Emily cover some radical, firecrackers who lived life to the extreme! They pair these feisty ladies with some Kung Fu Girl Riesling which is unexpectedly dry. Emily starts off with the story of Gladys Bentley an open lesbian and Harlem Renaissance entertainer who rocked a suit like no one else could! Her sexy songs were a controversial hit which transcended race and sexuality. Then, Kelley tells the almost-too-crazy-to-be-real story of Julie d'Aubigny who fought and sung her way through life, taking on a series of male and female lovers! She also knew that burning down a convent made a bigger impression on a lady than flowers. Grab your pants permit and your matches 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.
