This week's episode is brought to you by anxiety, drama queens, and heroic librarians! First, Kelley tells the story of Livia Drusilla (not the anti-cramping med) a Roman Empress who achieved god-status after living a life that would make soap opera writers do a double-take. Then, Emily shares the story of Pura Belpré, a young Puerto Rican woman who, thanks to kismet, pioneered programs for the New York Public Library that helped countless children and made the library a cultural center for Spanish-speaking citizens. Don't forget to send your pig to mass, because we're wining about herstory!
