Ep5. The Fighting Girlfriend, an Unsexed Soldier, & a Police Matron

On this particularly tipsy episode (brought to you by a bottle of Ame Du Vin Rose) the ladies are doing some extra credit and covering 3, count them, 3 women! Kelley covers two military women who felt the call to serve, even when no one asked (or wanted them) them to. First, Mariya Oktyabrskaya, who bought her own fucking tank to go fight the Nazis and avenge her fallen husband. Next, Sarah Emma Edmonds, who traveled all the way from Canada and dressed as a man to fight for the Union in the American Civil War! Finally, Emily tells the story of Isabella Goodwin and how he brought down a gangster with a hilarious nickname to become New York's first female police detective! Top off your glass, grab some Sour Patch Kids, and settle in because herstory is about to get tipsy!  ** 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.
