Ep26. The Goddess of Wicker Baskets of Death & A Self-Proclaimed God

This week the ladies cover two women who rose to new heights, even when others tried to keep them down. Over a bottle of Gato Negro, Kelley tells the tale of Sophie Blanchard, who became one of the first professional female balloonists (on a budget no less.) Her ballooning adventures were so revolutionary that people thought she was a demon! Then, Emily shares the story of Tsuruhime Ohori, a priestess who became a warrior God to protect her home from an invading war lord. Lean back in your wicker chairs and inventory your grenades, 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.
