Angie and Theresa discuss tough women in history, featuring Diane Nash and Amelie Elie.
You want tough women?! This week, Angie and Theresa share some absolute baddies. Theresa kicks things off with Diane Nash, who led the Freedom Rides. You know, those integrated bus rides in the deep south, where a bus was firebombed, the victims were arrested (after getting beaten by angry mobs). Angie pivots the episode into a wildly different direction when she shares the story of Amelie Elie, the woman who launched a gang war in France. She was kinda the modern equivalent to Helen of Troy, but with French gangs of the Victorian era. This story pairs well with: The Black Panther Party's Free Breakfast Program Alice "Diamond Annie" and the Forty Elephants - London girl gang Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/UnhingedHistory Email us: Unhinged.HistoryPod@gmail.com Head to Social Media and be Social With Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@unhinged.historyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unhinged.historypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unhingedhistory Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe.
