Ep50. Minneapolis Maternity Hospital & The Willmar 8

We're celebrating our 1 year anniversary! (Birthday?) with some home grown herstory heroes from our great, frozen state of Minnesota! First, we tell the story of Dr. Martha Ripley who had the crazy notion that all women deserved decent maternity care and was an intense warrior, fighting against the patriarchy. Then, we talk about the Willmar 8 who didn't take kindly to being paid less than men and took to the streets in -70 degree weather to strike! Stuff your snowsuits full of newspaper and hit the picket line as we 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.
