Ep18. The Phoneix of Mexico & The Bike Babe

Welcome back herstory heroes for more tales of badass ladies from history! This week, Kelley and Emily talk summer plans and celebrate the fact that the Edinburgh 7 will finally be getting their degrees after 150 years! Kelley starts off by sharing the story of voracious intellectual Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz who became a nun so men would leave her and her books the fuck alone. Then, Emily talks about the bicycling exploits of Annie 'Londonderry' Kopchovsky who was the first woman to ride a bike around the world! Did we mention she also wore pants? What a rebel! So hop on your tubes and raise your glass, 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.
