Madaline Pollard - a podcast by DC by Foot

"I think she’s really remarkable because she never paints herself as an angel either.  She realizes that first of all, that’s never going to work, and second of all, that’s not real."

 

March is Women's History Month and our team is diving deep into the lives and legacies of a few incredible women from American History.  We are kicking off this month with the story of a woman whose name is not well-known but whose experience has been shared by women throughout history.  Meet Madeline Pollard, the schoolgirl who brought down a colonel and a congressman.
