Ep54. Extreme Tax Evasion & The Goddess of Glucose

The ladies are getting back into the swing of things and are bringing you two badass babes you won't believe you've never heard of! First, Emily takes a listener request and covers Viola Desmond who was living her best life as a bomb-ass beautician and only wanted to see Olivia de Havilland (who is NOT dead) on the big screen. Then racism happened. Then, Kelley tells the tale of biochcemist Gerty Cori who combated sexism and seemed to bend time itself (how else do you explain cramming 18 years worth of study into 1 year?) to win the Nobel Prize in science! Grab your sepia compact and brush up on your Latin 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.
