    054 – Josephine
    May 23 2024
    In this HUGE season finale episode I look at the life of Josephine Butler. Probably one of the most amazing women of the Victorian era she spent her life dedicated to the rights of women, especially those economically disadvantaged, and in particular, prostitutes. A pioneer of feminism, Josephine fought and raised the age of consent as well as fighting against invasive police examinations of women. Along with creating hostels as safe spaces for women she also aided in women being able to obtain degrees from universities as well as keeping their finances they brought into a marriage.

    This week I take a look at something intrinsic to our perception of the Victorian Era - Steam. And more specifically the advent of the technology that created railways - an invention that changed the culture and society of the time. George Stephenson and his son Robert created the first viable locomotive. This episode I look at their influence on society and their amazing invention.

    This episode I take a look at the life of the Prince of Wales. Not William, but Queen Victoria's son. Albert Edward, known to his family as 'Bertie'. He changed the way we perceive royalty with an influence still extant today.

interesting subjects told very boringly. couldn't get past the speaker, it was just like he was reading everything and sounded so stilted and made interesting subjects not so interesting. I couldn't keep going sorry
