Episode 017—Where My Ladies At? (feat. Nalini Chetty)
History favors the male. Or, more specifically, the way history has been recorded and taught favors the male. Nalini Chetty joins us this week to set us to rights and discuss some of the women of Scottish history who have been left out of the narrative, from Margaret Bulkley to Maggie Dickson (we promise they aren't all named Margaret) we're having a blether about gender, race and Sara Sheridan's book Where Are The Women?
