We Begin by Walking

When Women Walked is a history podcast about movement—literal and political—and the women who used it to challenge power, demand justice, and reshape the world. This introductory episode lays the foundation for the series: why walking matters as a historical act, how women’s movement has been remembered and erased, and what it means to take women’s bodies in motion seriously as political intervention. Hosted by historian Madison Givens, When Women Walked blends archival research, narrative storytelling, and cultural analysis to examine moments when women stepped into public space—and history shifted. New episodes explore both individual women and broader movements, asking not just who walked, but what their movement made possible. When women walked, history shifted. A History Queen Podcast
