Hello @histodons ! We're a narrative-driven, open access, and accessible digital history project bridging the worlds of popular and academic history with an explicitly feminist perspective. We'll be sharing our podcast episodes here, as well as the free resources and lesson plans we've created for teachers to use our episodes in the classroom. Excited to be in this space & joining the #histodons and #podcast communities here

There's also a short section on Harriet Urquhart, supporter of rational dress & political writer under the name of Caritas, at
