Join us as we explore history through the eyes of sisterhood. History often tells us that behind every great man is a strong woman. We see things a little differently. We think beside every strong woman is another strong woman, supporting her, influencing her, challenging her, hating or loving her. ​ We look into all of the rivalries, collaborations, frenemies and friendships that make up sisterhood. We hope you enjoy.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a secret society of painters in the mid 19th century that formed as a rebellion against the "dark and unimaginative" mainstream artists of the time. But we don't care about them. In this episode, we will talk about the women who truly made this artistic movement possible, The Pre-Raphaelite Sisterhood. These "stunners" (aka models) rose from low social classes into something like stardoms through their work with the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Some started their own businesses or launched painting careers of their own. They were friends, colleagues, and competitors to one another, and all were fascinating women in their own right. P.S. the really long named painting that Sabrina botched should be “A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids.

Medieval women and war might seem like two opposites but in Margaret of Anjou you find a woman who is never going to back down from a fight. Jacquetta of Luxembourg may not be as blood thirsty but she was never one to sit on the sidelines. Find out about two women who quite literally made history in this weeks episode of Sistory Untold. Has history treated them fairly claiming they are she-wolves and witches? (If you haven't listened to parts one and two of the medieval queens series we highly recommend you start there.)

Picture this: it’s the mid 1300s, the Black Death just killed 1/3 of country, every time you turn around there’s a new pope, and you’re bedridden. This is the position in which Margery and Julian found themselves immediately before their divine encounters. But, as fascinating as their encounters with Christ were, what is perhaps even more interesting is their encounter with one another. As mystics, both women faced doubt and judgement from the world around them, but found encouragement and solidarity in each other. P.S. Correction: Marie du France lived in England. Someone needs to rename her Marie du England.
