Ep218. Spelling Queen Bee & Brooklyn Bridge Babe

The ladies are JAZZED for Women's History Month (if y'all couldn't tell) and are coming at you with some incredible women who pissed off all the right people! First, Emily covers Marie C. Bolden, a 14-year-old girl who just wanted to win a spelling bee, but ended up delivering a blow to racist shit-heads everywhere! Can you spell bad babe? Then, Kelley tells the story of Emily Warren Roebling, (a credit to her name) an intellectual and a ride-or-die babe. When her husband became ill while helping to build the Brooklyn Bridge, she stepped up and made a family dream come true. Grab your rooster and use it in a sentence, because we're wining about herstory!
