Ep83. Busting Down the Doors & Amazing Grace

In this week's kismet fueled episode, Kelley & Emily are discussing Navy women! First, Kelley covers Shannon Faulkner who took on the Citadel's men's only policy in the face of death threats and a city-wide harassment campaign. Kelley also covers Janie Mines who became the first black woman to graduate from the Naval Academy, paving the way for others, including her sister! Then, Emily tackles computer programming genus (wait- genius) Grace Hopper who, despite being told she was too old and too small for the Navy, became their secret programming weapon and revolutionized computers! Watch out for those moths and shout "OH MY GAWD!" 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.
