Ep251. Shaker Saw Maker & The Unexpected Origins of Rice-a-Roni

As we brace for the new year, these two women are helping us end 2024 off with innovation, resilience, and generosity. Kelley covers Tabitha Babbitt, an innovative Shaker woman who found a better way to cut wood and shared it instead of patenting it. Then, Emily shares the story of Pailadzo Captanian, a survivor of the Armenian genocide whose most recognized contribution to American culture is the least amazing thing about her. Bring that bad bitch energy into 2025 because we're wining about herstory!
