  • Colombia
    Oct 2 2025

    Herstorians - First, an apology. For whatever reason, our recording equipment decided to act up again, and the sound on this episode is not our best. You can hear us, but we sound far away. Regardless, please enjoy this episode on Colombia. Shelby covers Policarpa Salavarrieta Rios, aka La Pola. She was a 19th-century seamstress who spied for the Revolutionary Forces during Colombia's fight for independence from Spain. Amy educates us on Débora Arango, a Colombian artist marred by scandal, just because she was ahead of her time.
