Ep269. Dean of Women & The Gay Corner

The ladies are QUEER. They are HERE. Get USED TO IT! To celebrate Pride month, Kelley tells the story of Lucy Diggs Slowe, the other half of the Mary Burrell power couple. Lucy spent her life trying to advance academics for women while having to hide her own identity from the world. Then, Emily recounts her recent visit to Congressional Cemetery's Gay Corner through the story of Cmdr. Alyce Victorine Grillet, a queer, poly sailor who proved that sexuality and service can coexist. Go pet a dog, bake a cake, and tell a cheesy dad joke, because we're wining about herstory!
