This time around we head back to New York to hear about Italian antifascist Carla Capponi. Professor Suzanne Cope, author of WOMEN OF WAR: The Italian Assassins, Spies and Couriers Who Fought the Nazis brings us Carla's lively tale, which is full of bombs, intrigue, and bravery. DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce the talk.

Thanks for listening! We will be back again next month with another fabulous Dead Lady.

We're back with a delightful episode about Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, the first female chief of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Host Susan Stone dives deep into the history of the Seminole Indians and Betty Mae's unusual life and times, via a talk recorded in front of a live audience in Berlin. As a mixed-race child, Betty was 'born a crime' according to Seminole medicine men, but she endured to lead her community as a nurse, journalist, leader, and a storyteller.

DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce the talk.

Our theme music is "Little Lily Swing" by Tri-Tachyon. Thanks for listening! We'll be back with a new episode next month.

In this episode, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to Flora Tristan.

A French-Peruvian writer, socialist activist and feminist theorist, Flora was amongst the first to tie women's equality to social equality. Her personal life was touched by hardship, scandal, and the nefarious acts of various men. Seeking her own emancipation, she was moved to fight for universal freedom. And though she may not be well-known, Flora's inspiring ideas live on today, when people stand united against oppression.

To find out more about Flora and her work, visit our episode page over at https://deadladiesshow.com/2025/07/18/podcast-83-flora-tristan/
