Iron Maidens

In this compelling episode of Iron Maidens, host Bevin Goldsmith uncovers the remarkable yet often-overlooked stories of women in combat throughout history. From medieval warrior queens like Aethelflaed and Joan of Arc to modern-day trailblazers such as Tammy Duckworth and Lori Piestewa, we celebrate the resilience, courage, and unwavering determination of women who have bravely fought for their nations. Join us as we shine a light on their extraordinary contributions, reclaiming the narratives that history has too often left behind and honoring their lasting impact on military history.

Welcome to the first episode of Iron Maidens, hosted by Bevin Goldsmith, a multifaceted author with a distinguished background in military service. This unfiltered debut celebrates the resilience and determination of a female veteran paving her way and overcoming challenges to become who she is today.

They call us Warriors. Fighters. Survivors. We fought and we bled alongside our brothers and carried the weight that some didn't think we could handle. I'm Bevin Goldsmith, combat vet, author, mom, advocate for women who've worn the uniform, and proud to be one of the few who've broke the mold. This is only the beginning. In Iron Maidens, we're cutting through the noise to tell the raw, unfiltered stories of female veterans, service members, and first responders. The struggles, the triumphs, and everything in between. We'll talk about the things no one else wants to. PTSD, identity after service, what it means to rebuild when the mission's over, and how we're still fighting every day to be seen.  If you're looking for polished, sugar coated stories... this is not it. But if you're ready for real talk from real women who've been in the trenches, Welcome to the fight. Whether you served, know someone who did, or just want to understand the challenges females face in this career field, this is your invitation to listen, learn, and join the mission.  Iron Maidens. Because our fight, our strength, and our stories matter.
