    14.15 Kasturba Gandhi, Wife of Mahatma Gandhi
    Apr 24 2025
    Gandhi is among the most documented figures of the 20th century. Most of these sources reveal astonishingly little about his wife Kasturba. But he actually credited her with teaching him the principles of nonviolent resistance. This episode tells the story of her transformation from an ordinary Hindu girl to a woman leading protests against the British Empire.

    14.14 Clara Schumann, Wife of Robert Schumann
    Apr 17 2025
    Robert Schumann is a big name in classical music. However, in his own lifetime, Robert Schumann wasn't “the” Schumann. His wife was the famous one. Clara Schumann was an internationally known virtuoso who delighted audiences for 60 years, including the periods before, during, and after her eight pregnancies, Robert's illness, and eventual death.

    14.13 Katharine Wright, Sister of Wilbur and Orville Wright
    Apr 10 2025
    The Wright brothers invented the world's first powered flying machine. Sure, they were geniuses, but even geniuses need a little help. Their sister Katharine managed the bicycle business, managed the media, managed the public, and more than pulled her weight in the family.

  • 14.12 Jo van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent's Sister-in-Law (part 2)

    14.12 Jo van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent's Sister-in-Law (part 2)
    Mar 27 2025
    When her husband died, Jo was left with a small child, no job, not much money, and a lot of canvases that weren't worth very much. It was the effort of a lifetime, but Jo transformed van Gogh's artwork from something few people wanted to an international sensation.

    14.11 Jo van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent's Sister-in-Law (part 1)
    Mar 20 2025
    Vincent van Gogh is one of history's best known artists, but he wasn't during his own lifetime. His rise to fame came slowly through the efforts of the woman who inherited the vast majority of his paintings. Jo van Gogh-Bonger was a Dutch girl who considered herself not very well educated about art, and yet she managed to weave her way through the art world and bring us Vincent's exquisite beauty.

    14.10 Bertha von Suttner, Friend of Alfred Nobel
    Mar 13 2025
    Alfred Nobel's original plans for his famous prize included physics, chemistry, medicine, and literature. But not peace. He thought the peace movement was ridiculous, a bunch of dreamers with no workable plan. But his friend Bertha von Suttner was the most famous person in the peace movement, and she played a big role in changing his mind.

  • Why Women's History Still Matters

    Why Women's History Still Matters
    Mar 6 2025
    March has been Women's History Month for decades! But this year, some government agencies and corporations have thrown its existence into doubt. Today's episode is a break from my usual. It's an opinion-editorial on why I think we still need women's history. Badly. This originally appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on March 1, 2025.
