Ep63. Transgender Speed Demon & A Loving, Literary Lesbian

Get ready for sexy mouthfeel, pictures of trees, and a whole lot of moom energy! This week, Emily covers motor-racing champ and war hero, Roberta Cowell who was the first known British woman to undergo sexual reassignment surgery. She also challenged the existing perceptions of trans women simply by being a plane flying, car racing, Nazi tricking badass. Then, Kelley tells the story of author Selma Lagerlöf who made a geography book an international sensation and was the first woman and lesbian to win the Nobel Prize in literature! How did she make a geography book a hit? The key is shrunken boys and geese. Practice your times tables and work your sexy gams, 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.
