Episode 31: Butterfly Queens, Feathery Fiends, and the Strangest Woman in the World - a podcast by Melissa and Poppy

This week we're celebrating International Women's Day by sharing the lives of some AMAZING women you may have never heard of... We explore the lives of: Emma Hutchinson, a self-taught butterfly expert; Mary Barker, the elusive Lady Whistledown of the Wordsworth Circle;  Emily Williamson, the best gal a feathered friend could ask for; and Evatima Tardo – the woman who could literally feel no pain! And WOW did she put her body to the test...

Thanks for listening! We post new episodes every Thursday.
