About this episode

The episode highlights the story of Arden Eversmeyer and the experiences of old lesbians, along with recognizing Memorial Day through the stories of women in Vietnam.

The ladies are HERE, QUEER, and a WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS! Kelley shines a light on an underserved demographic- old lesbians- in her story about Arden Eversmeyer who, after her partner of over 30 years passed away, found herself looking for friends. When she couldn't find any, she created a network of old lesbians that still exist today! Then, Emily recognizes Memorail Day with the stories of two women who were DEFINITELY in Vietnam (despite what some would have you believe). Grab your Monster tea and some tissues, because we're wining about herstory!
