Catharine Macaulay was the Real McCoy

Welcome to another episode of M&Em, where this week our dynamic duo Matthieu and Michelle are taking you on a captivating journey through time as they explore the fascinating world of mega influencers (not the TikTok kind) who have left an indelible mark on society.

Matthieu unravels the extraordinary life of Catharine Macaulay, whose observations and literary works on class and societal structure helped shape our political landscape into what we know today, including the creation of the modern senate thanks to some inspiration from the ancient Greeks! Michelle then delves into a positively enthralling time in history - the prohibition. Brace yourself for an intoxicating exploration of famous ‘M’ adjacent bootleggers, with a spotlight on the infamous William McCoy, whose name became synonymous with quality contraband during the era of Prohibition and resulted in the coining of a phrase we all use today - the real McCoy!
