Ep. 4.17: The Wayward Queen, the Lawyer, and The Stuntwoman

The Bitchery of History

This week, Max and Allison are joined by Liz and Riley to discuss 3 women who defied the expectations of their time. The first, a queen whose life could fill 10 seasons of a cable tv show, kept Europe on its toes with her every move; the second, a woman whose advocacy made her the first Native-American woman to argue in front of the US Supreme Court, literally chose her hill to die on; and the third, the first female stunt woman in the United States, was a master of reinventing herself to stay on top: Queen Christina of Sweden, Eliza “Lyda” Conley, and Helen Gibson! / For more info on Its Personal, and for tickets to Bitches Get Personal, go to http://www.itspersonalonstage.com. / Intro and Ad Music provided by BenSound.com / Logo Art by Lauren Cierzan / Join the Conversation! thebitcheryofhistory.com / Facebook / Twitter / Instagram / Max: @QuirkyTitle Allison: @AHPowell91 Liz: @lizkummer4 Riley: @rileybillingsley The Team: Janette Danielson (@Neddie94) Sydney Tannenbaum (@sydneyxmastree) Jess Lee (@jessmlee)
