Between dreaming of haunted hotels and trying not to die, the ladies got around to wining about some interesting ladies! Kelley wines about Ann Pamela Cunningham who saw George Washington's historic home on Mount Vernon crumbling and decided to do somethinga bout it, leading one of the earliest historical preservation efforts in the nation. Then, Emily wines about Maude Kegg, an Ojibwe woman who was critical to preserving and passing on her people's culture in the face of federal erasure.

This week the ladies are the EXACT right amount while celebrating Veterans Day with some incredible women who were serving badassery along with the country! Emily wines about Monica Helms, who may have been at home working on nuclear submarine but struggled with her identity as a woman for most of her life, culminating in the creation of one of the most ICONIQUE flags ever. Kelley tells the high-flying tale of Captain Mary Klinker, a flight nurse who served in Vietnam, treating injured soldiers while flying over war zones, and is one of 8 women who hold a unique place in history.

Nephew/lovers, hunting for wine, and afterlife career goals! Emily tells the story of Ann Bilansky, the first and last woman executed in Minnesota for murdering her husband- but did she? Kelley explores the origins of our nightmares, wining about the Slavik Mara, entities that love fucking up your sleep.

Girl bosses? Check. Overbearing mothers? Check. Politicians getting into sexy shenanigans? You betcha! Emily returns to Congressional Cemetery to pay her respects to one of its most (in)famous interns, Mary Ann Hall. From humble beginnings, Mary Ann worked her way up to be one of the most successful business women in Washington D.C. Servicing politicians, socialites, and the elite just blocks away from the nation's capitol, Mary Ann was making bank. The only problem was, her business was illegal. Kelley tells the terrifyingly true story of Julia Buccola Petta, a young Italian immigrant who tragically died during child birth. But when her body was exhumed years later, what onlookers found was truly shocking. Beware of freshly poured patios and take control of your life (or don't) because we're wining about herstory!

This week, the ladies are joined by a REAL herstorian, author Eden Collinsworth, to talk about her latest book 'The Improbable Victoria Woodhull: Suffrage, Free Love, and the First Woman to Run for President.' Best known for being the first woman to run for president, that may be the least interesting or impactful thing Victoria Woodhull ever did. Kelley and Emily covered Victoria and her sister Tennessee Clafin in episode 87, but Eden Collinsworth gets deep into Victoria's life, her spectral bestie, her shyster family, and how she was an unstoppable force unto herself. Check in with Demosthenes and be such a problem that your haters pay you to leave, because we're wining about herstory!
