Ep301. A Sister of Compassion & The Last Victorian Courtesan

This wee's episode is packed with hoarding weapons, pretty horsebreakers, and exploding seltzers! First, Emily tells the story of Élise Rivet, a nun who was one badass Mother Superior, using her position to help the French Resistance fight the Nazis, until she was discovered. Then, Kelley travels to Victorian London to meet early trendsetter Catherine 'Skittles' Walters, who left behind her working class, dockside roots to become one of the most iconic and successful courtesans the world had ever seen.
