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!

You know the perfume. You don’t know the woman. By the end of this episode you’re going to be furious that the only thing most people associate with her name is a bottle on a department store counter. We don’t usually th
This week we have a true crime story for you. I don’t want to give away too much here in the notes. But Dorothy Kilgallen was the Oprah or Barbara Walters of her time (the 40s, 50s & 60s)…and most of us have never heard
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 furnit
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
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 wi
Hannah Arendt didn’t write about monsters. She wrote about ordinary people who stop thinking — and what that does to the world. In this episode, we dig into the life of the Jewish philosopher who gave us the phrase “the
Christmas looks like it belongs to men — Santa, Jesus, the Wise Men, even Frosty — but the holiday itself has always been built, carried, and saved by women. In this episode of Bitchstory, we reclaim Christmas for the gi

Back in the 1970s, when women were still told they needed a husband or father to sign for a loan, a group of bold Denver women said no more. They founded The Women’s Bank of Denver to claim not just access to money—but p
This week, we’re keeping it short and spectral with Violet Paget — better known by her pen name, Vernon Lee. A 19th century brainiac queer Victorian writer, art critic, and master of the uncanny, Violet blurred the lines
Grab your beret and hold onto your typewriter, darlings — it’s our hundredth episode! And what better way to celebrate than with the woman who made single, working, independent life look not just possible, but fabulous:
Jimmy Kimmel got headlines when he was suspended — but what about the women who’ve been silenced for speaking truth on TV? From Hazel Scott’s jazz-and-justice to Bea Arthur’s Maude, from trailblazing journalists to femin
What happens when women refuse to stay quiet? This week, we’re telling the stories of badass whistleblowers who risked everything to speak the truth—about corruption, violence, and patriarchy’s dirty little secrets. Spoi
We have an admitted fixation on women who are spies. This episode focuses on women in WW2 who put it all on the line to fight fascism…and defeat Nazis. Not all of these women were spies, but some were. Some of these wome
This might be one of my favorite episodes. I had not really given much thought to the concept of “water equality” until Lisa suggested this topic. It’s not that I never think of drought stricken parts of the world or Gaz
In WW2, women filled all sorts of important roles, from secretaries to spies. Many of these stories have been buried in HIStory, but in this current wave of feminism, it isn’t hard to find a good story about a badass wom
We had an absolute blast talking to Karen Wang Diggs, author of the book “Awesome Asian Women”! Karen was a freakin’ delight! She’s the real deal-a true intersectional feminist and a gifted storyteller with a passion for
Lisa and I had the pleasure of speaking to two very cool women recently. The author and illustrator of “I’m Not Your Muse” and companion deck (so cool!) “More Than Muses”, Lori Zimmer & Maria Krasinski! We discussed at l
