Season 2, Episode 9 – Julieta Almeida Rodrigues

Moving on to episode nine in Season 2 of History Through Fiction: The Podcast. This episode features writer, professor, scholar, and interpreter Julieta Almeida Rodrigues, author of the Eleonora and Joseph: Passion, Tragedy, and Revolution in the Age of Enlightenment. In this episode we chat with Rodrigues about using fiction to go beyond facts, the role women play in revolutions, and the connection that the past has to today. As Rodrigues states, just like they did during The Enlightenment, “we want to be equal, we want to be fraternal, we want to have solidarity. We might not achieve it, but I think it’s the goal of this century.” Don’t miss this fun, wide-ranging conversation!
