Let There Be Light: A History of Flipping the Switch (ep. 15.12) (rebroadcast)
from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts
Artificial lighting is an invention that has become so ubiquitous in the developed world that many of us barely notice when we use it. But it wasn’t always this way. Many a historical woman noticed big time every day. This episode tells the story from prehistorical oil lamps, to candles, to flipping a switch.
