HI 2341: “Furies from Hell” to “Femi-Nazis”: A History of Modern Anti-Feminism: Podcasts

What’sHerName women’s history podcast is hosted and produced by academic sisters Dr. Katie Nelson and Olivia Meikle. Committed to reclaiming forgotten history, What’sHerName tells the stories of fascinating women you’ve never heard of (but should have). Through compelling interviews with guest historians, writers, and scholars, Olivia and Katie bring to life the “lost” women of history. Fascinating and funny, thought-provoking and thoughtful, What’sHerName restores women’s voices to the conversation.

To mark women's history month in 2020, HistoryExtra put together a list of 11 of their podcasts featuring inspirational historical women and their achievements.

Hear about some of our favorite ladies, important historical moments, and lady anthems. Hosted by two college faculty members, Misty Wilson-Mehrtens and Allegra Davis Hanna.
