    Alice Paul was one of the most prominent activists of the 20th century women's rights movement, who believed that moral authority always trumps the letter of the law; injustices must be called out and resisted as a matter of principle. By hook or by crook; with personal sacrifice. determination, and a talent for spectacle, she moved the needle of public opinion though acts of resistance. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Anne Frank 2025

    Anne Frank 2025
    May 14 2025
    During our coverage of Miep Gies, we presented the story of the events that were happening in the world at large during WW2, closer in within the city of Amsterdam, and then to a smaller scale within the lives, offices and homes of the helpers. Susan has in fact taken a pilgrimage to Amsterdam to visit the attic where Anne lived and Miep worked so hard to keep her safe. But, since we cannot all be there in person, here is our Anne Frank episode from 2018, the story of what was happening inside the secret annex, and in the hearts of the people who lived there. As Anne once wrote in her diary: "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it from happening again." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

faboulous

It’s like listening to a friend tell a story, except with researched details. I went to see the musical “Six” and before I went I listened to the History Chicks podcasts on Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and the “other four wives”. It really filled in the background details in the musical (which was fantastic).

History with a sense of humor.

These ladies are the bomb!

I introduced myself to the History Chicks with their coverage of Francis Perkins. I'd never heard of her and I was hooked. I have now listened to every episode. I love this podcast because they've introduced me to great and/or infamous women, their lives, their struggles, their failures and their successes. The History Chicks humanize these ladies. Listening to a podcast is like having an intellectual conversation with great friends. And let's face it, given where we are in living History, we need some reminders that we've been down before, but we can still do great things with these women as our guides. Sometimes you'll hear about things we shouldn't aspire to, but avoid. But more often, I find inspiration in my History Chicks journeys. My 12 year old daughter and I (and even my rooster) dream of the day we can go on a field trip! Listen and learn.

Favorite podcast I've come across. Entertaining and educational. I'm hooked. Pleasant to listen too and just so much information without it feeling like a classroom lecture.

Brilliant

Love the witty banter and easy story telling. I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. It is one of my favorites!

Her-story told well

I've been following this podcast for years and have never missed a single episode since my first listen, which was the original Queen Lili'oukalani episode. Nice to see things come full circle. The narrators do a great job of keeping you interested throughout the episode, and I cannot tell just how much I have learned from simply listening to the two talking and nerding out about history (especially about women in history whose stories don't receive enough attention or have been re-written by men) like I do.

Great and Engaging

I love this podcast. The individual episodes are long but do very complete coverage of the subject. I listen all the time.

Well researched history!

Witty, interesting stories of real women. I have listened with great interest to all of the stories of these interesting remarkable famous and infamous women throughout the ages. The biggest takeaway is the courage of these women. Truth is way,way,more interesting than fiction. I can’t wait to meet up with Susan and Beckett in Paris in less than a week

What can I say- I am addicted to the History Chicks
