Women at War: Europe’s forgotten fighters
About this episode
This episode explores the overlooked contributions of women in warfare across Europe during the 15th to 17th centuries.
History remembers the generals, the kings, and the men who marched beneath national flags. But buried are other stories of support systems and networks that included spies, resistance fighters, smugglers, and revolutionaries. Women, who stepped into battle while the world tried to erase them from it. In this episode, we are joined by Margaret Hunt, emeritus from Uppsala University in Sweden, as we travel Europe between the 15th and 17th centuries to tear down misconceptions and uncover the forgotten story of Europe’s women at war.
