Ep47. The Leesburg Stockade Girls & A Beauty Cult

This week is full of highs and lows and a super specific porno script pitch! First, Emily shares the harrowing story of The Leesburg Stockade Girls, a group of 15 adolescent black girls who were arrested for protesting segregation and held prisoner in horrific conditions (without telling anyone.) Then, Kelley tells the uplifting, almost Disney-esque story of Sarah Breedlove, more commonly known as Madam C.J. Walker who went from rags to riches and elevated hair care for women to an art form! Grab your saran wrap and gargle into the mic because we're wining 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.
