This podcast is about the women in history who broke barriers and made history yet you probably have never heard of them. Join us each week for a new episode about a woman or women who fought in wars, were amazing explorers, were pioneers in aviation – women who weren’t in our history books. These were exciting, brave, adventurous women who helped shaped this country. Join me, Kit and my friend Sherlock, as we share the exciting stories of these women whom you will want to know. These are the Badass Women of America.
