Welcome to Bitchstory! We are uncovering history's forgotten heroines and badasses. Most of the women covered on this show have been left out of the history books for reasons you can guess. Some are names you know, some are women that history has completely snubbed. We are revising history to be fun, inclusive, entertaining, and of course, feminist as f*ck! Email us at "Heybitches@bitchstory.net". Always check the show notes for our sources and other important information.Kelly McClain and Smarty Pants Lisa Mundial

    Ep 108 - Inventions by Black Women
    Mar 9 2026

    This week on Bitchstory, Kelly and Lisa uncover the Black women who invented parts of everyday life — and then got ignored for it. From laundry tech and menstrual products to home security systems and space-saving furniture, these innovators made modern life easier while battling racism, sexism, and a patent system that rarely worked in their favor. Some lost their fortunes, some had their inventions rejected, and one even signed her patent with an X. Turns out the world we live in was built by women whose names most of us never learned.

    Ep 107 - Lady Librarians Saving Civilization
    Feb 19 2026

    During the 19-teens and through the Great Depression, women and particularly black women were holding together literacy in society with their bloody fingertips and blistered feet. In this episode we discuss the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky, and the black librarians of the Harlem Renaissance. Literacy is power, guys. And Black history is American history. And women’s history is still sadly overlooked, which is why we do this podcast!

    Ep 106 - GPS Queen - Dr. Gladys West
    Feb 4 2026

    Dr. Gladys West is the mathematical genius whose work helped create the GPS you literally use to find coffee, Target, and your emotional support parking spot. Her groundbreaking satellite modeling helped map the Earth with wild precision — and, shockingly, she didn’t get the credit she deserved for decades. This Black History Month, we’re celebrating the Black women who built the future while the world was busy ignoring them.
