My podcast and newsletter are for anyone who wishes their history classes had included more women.
Her Half of History is a podcast that comes out on Thursdays with (mostly) standalone episodes that run between 15 and 30 minutes. Right now I’m in a series called “The First Woman,” where I’m telling the stories of women who were first to write a novel, first to lead an army, first to get paid as a scientist, and many more. This is series 16. You can browse past series here.
On This Day in Womens’ History is a weekly newsletter launching on May 11, 2026. I will tell you about what happened on that day in history. If you’re already a Patreon subscriber, you’re all set. If not, sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox.
