What do Mary Shelley, Cleopatra, Susan B. Anthony, and Frida Kahlo have in common? They are all women who helped shape the world that we live in today. Throughout history, women have been rebelling against institutions, making earth-shattering discoveries, and forging paths to greatness without apology. But, in my opinion, we don’t hear enough about them. My name is Layla Bryndzia, and I am going to share with you the true stories of the women who have earned their place in history. What do all these women have to do with you? Not only do I think their stories should be shared, but I want to know what made them tick and how you can apply it to your own life. After all, she fucking did it, so why can’t you fucking do it to? Tune into SFDT wherever you listen to podcasts. New episodes drop every Sunday.
