Sistory Untold
Join us as we explore history through the eyes of sisterhood. History often tells us that behind every great man is a strong woman. We see things a little differently. We think beside every strong woman is another strong woman, supporting her, influencing her, challenging her, hating or loving her. We look into all of the rivalries, collaborations, frenemies and friendships that make up sisterhood. We hope you enjoy.

They were also connected by a passion for politics, a commitment to justice, and a strong friendship. Throughout their more than fifteen-year f...
This week we are crossing the Irish sea to talk about the dark side of sisterhood through the magdalene laundries and the nuns who ran them. You will definitely be questioning who exactly are the sinners and who are the sisters. In classic Marva fashion this is not a light story to take in. Can sisterhood also be a source of evil?
