The Literature Lady Podcast

This podcast digs into the women's history and literature your teachers never told you about, the stories of women in all their raw, dynamic, adventurous, heroic, and tragic glory. Not only are we drumming up those lost tales of women that have been buried in the dusty old archives all over the world, but we are also retelling tales that previously have been told but we keep in the bawdiness, complexity, controversy, and horror. With an exciting array of knowledgeable and equally snarky guests, this podcast picks apart the past so that we might learn more about our present and future. 18+ Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/janet-bartholomew/support
