Janaki Ammal left an indelible mark on botany & environmental activism, during a time in which the literacy rate among women in India was less than 1%. Her legacy serves as an inspiration for aspiring scientists, particularly women, as they navigate the often challenging landscapes of academia and environmental advocacy.
Ragnhild Tregagås is often overlooked in history, but certainly bears mention on The Riveting Rosies Podcast: she was the first and only witch to be tried in 1324-1325, a shocking 250 years before the infamous witch-hunt era. Ragnhild's tale unveils a complex web of power dynamics, religious shifts, and the suppression of women that would set a precedent for the Christianization of Norway's legal system.
