Women Who Built It
from Herstory · host Shelby Stockton
They say, if you build it, they will come, and these ladies did just that! Shelby talks about Fatima al-Fihri, the Arab woman who is credited with founding the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque, and eventually a university, in Fez, Morocco. Amy tells us about Sophia Hayden, an American architect and first female graduate of the four-year program in architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

HerStory - Geschichte(n) von Frauen und Queers
Jasmin Lörchner
Frauen und Queers haben Politik und Revolution gemacht, große Kunst und erfolgreiche Unternehmen geschaffen und wissenschaftliche Durchbrüche errungen. Manchmal standen sie auch auf der falschen Seite der Geschichte. HerStory spürt den Biografien von Frauen und Queers nach - auch solchen, die nicht als Vorbild taugen.
