Defining our own terms. The Bitchionary is the dictionary of bitches, a history of women who are complicated and messy, brilliant and overlooked, terrible and monstrous, and all things that humans are. This podcast seeks to give nuance to women by defining our own terms. We tell stories of awesome women who have been overlooked by history, but we also tell stories of complicated and messy women. We tell stories of women who have committed terrible acts, both personally and politically. We tell stories that have happened to women and causes that women have championed.
