Broadly Underestimated
05/15/22 • 22 min
5.0
Elizabeth Packard has just come out of the fight of her life. She’d spent three years locked in an asylum that she had no power to get out of. Her spiteful husband had committed her and used every legal tool at his disposal to silence her powerful voice. And now, he had taken her children from her.
Elizabeth Packard was a fighter. And there was no way she was going to lay down for this fight for her children and for the rights of married women across the United States.

When Scrooge is a Woman
Broadly Underestimated
12/19/21 • 19 min
5.0
Alison Larkin took Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol and adapt in one single way: she turned Scrooge into a woman.
The plot is exactly the same, all the other characters are exactly the same. The only thing that changes in the story is that Scrooge is a female business owner, miser, and Christmas-hater in Victorian London. But this changes everything.

Broadly Underestimated
09/03/21 • 41 min
In the 1890s, a group of women burst onto the American bike racing scene. That they were competing publicly was shocking enough. But that they forced to the fore the conversation about whether women should be athletes, made them women to be reckoned with.
In this episode, I speak with Dr. Roger Gilles, the author of Women on the Move, a chronicle of female bike racers in the 1890s.
