It's a snowy, blustery day in Minnesota, so today's episode was recorded remotely which means frequent fur baby interruptions and drinking the cold away! First, Kelley tells the story of Fanny Blankers-Koen, a woman who had the totally unrelatable problem of being too good at too many sports. She would pursue running and use her athleticism to reach international stardom and to tell the Nazis to go to hell! Then, Emily brings another daughter of the corn into the spotlight with Lizzie Magie! Lizzie believed in a more equitable economic system which led her to create a board game that would become the third most popular game on the planet. Swallow your shame and go back for your bottle of wine because we're wining about herstory!
