Join us today to learn about the life of this seven-term Congresswoman who (although small in stature) was never afraid to speak up, challenge traditions, improve the lives of those in her community, inspire others, and with all her might shove our country onward into a more inclusive space.

Today we are going to celebrate Jeannette Rankin for the act that she wanted to be remembered for: she is the only woman who ever voted to give all women in the United States the right to vote. Jeannette Rankin was not one to back down from a fight, or to speak her truth even when it was unpopular. There is much to admire about this amazing woman who paved a way to congress for many other women to follow....

Join me this week to hear about the incredible life of Belva Lockwood. Belva had ambition, intelligence and ability... but unfortunately, she was a woman. Her entire life was full of people telling her "no," but she decided to do the things anyway. Her goals were big, and she didn't stop fighting until she achieved them.

Join me to learn about the life of this colorful feminist trailblazer... the first woman to ever have her name appear on a Presidential Ballot. Victoria had a lot to say... first, for the spirits of the deceased. Next, for women like herself who had no legal protection after divorce. Finally, during her presidential campaign... where her platform included women's suffrage, regulation of monopolies, abolition of the death penalty, and welfare for the poor. We don't know how many votes she received on election day, but we can appreciate the fact that she made the first crack in the door that has kept women out of the Presidency of the United States.

In this week's episode, we'll follow Veronica Guerin on her dangerous travels to unravel the truth about the heroin crisis in Dublin and her attempts to expose the criminals who were profiting. Her journalistic ethics were murky, and she seemed to have no internal desire for self-preservation... but you HAVE to admire her bravery and desire to do what she believed was right.

Join me this week to learn about the woman who earned the unofficial title of "the First Lady of Black Press" for her hard work, fearless questions, and honest writing. Her adventures took her all over the world, and her strong sense of right and wrong drove her to fight for equality in an influential way.

Our world has been blessed with many amazing female journalists... and so we're going to learn about four of them this month. We're going to start with the confident, opinionated Nellie Bly who was a pioneer in the concept of investigate journalism. Learn about her adventures and maybe be inspired by her views that woman were capable, should be supported, and that the most importantly, that those people who were suffering should be shown compassion and care.

Join me today to learn about the woman whose unique cells were "immortal." A cell sample taken during a procedure (without her consent or knowledge) would change the world of medicine. Learn about this amazing woman who was mostly unknown until 60 years after her death... even though many of the vaccines, treatments, and understanding of cells that we have today wouldn't be possible without her contribution. Honor her by learning about her life.

Join me this week to hear about the amazing life of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first woman of color to become a medical doctor in America. Taught the basics by her aunt, Rebecca knew from a young age that she had a mission in life: to ease the suffering of her fellow humans.
Her legacy remained relatively unknown for over a century after her death... but thanks to her groundbreaking medical reference guide, the world has rediscovered her story and her phenomenal accomplishments.

Women are capable, powerful, and brilliant. Period. Or should I say, even WITH their periods. Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi was a fierce advocate for women's education and used her medical training (which she fought to have access to) to scientifically PROVE that women who were menstruating were just as capable as men.

We're kicking off our month of celebrating Women in Medicine by talking about the first woman to be a licensed doctor in Japan... and the personal experiences that she went through that inspired her to challenge traditions and BE THE CHANGE that the world needed.
It would be amazing if women were welcomed and well-represented in the medical field today, but we will be discussing an example of how (even so many years later) society STILL believes that women shouldn't be in certain fields.

Zelda and her author-husband were the perfect mascots for the roaring 20s. Her personification of "flapper" was celebrated and copied by other modern girls during a time of cultural change and self-indulgence. Zelda's husband is said to have used his beautiful, young wife as a muse in his writings... but popular (and supported) opinions now believe that she wasn't just his muse, but an uncredited and unacknowledged co-writer. Zelda was a published author and shown artist during her life, but her creations weren't appreciated then as they are today. Through the burden of mental health, Zelda strived to express herself creatively... authentically.

The foundations of modern gynecology are built on the bodies and pain of enslaved black women.... the Mothers of Gynecology. This week we'll talk about the man who has been celebrated for being the "Father of Gynecology" and the questionable practices that seemed barbaric to us now, but that led to discoveries and a new understanding of women's bodies. Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey were the tools that he used, and they were the ones that made the sacrifices.
I also want to celebrate artist Michelle Browder - a woman who has worked to bring the truth to light, and is fighting to help heal the lasting pain of a racist system.

Join me this week to learn about the woman who was the greatest contributor to the discovery of the structure of DNA. The greatest... but an unknowing and unrecognized collaborator. She was also instrumental in discovering the complex structure of viruses and was able to locate the infectious element. Her life was cut way too short... a consequence of the invisible danger in the scientific tools at the time. The world is divided on how to reinsert her story into the "story of DNA" but after spending the week with her, I know exactly where she belongs.

Join me this week to learn about a woman who was granted 49 patents and created over 110 inventions. Known as "Lady Edison" she was truly so much more. Beulah was innovative, persistent and a problem-solver who was struck with inspiration by what she observed. At a time in history when women were encouraged to get married and have a family, Beulah lived her own life on her own terms with her own money.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haveyoumether/support

We're comparing the famous ride of Paul Revere to ANOTHER courageous ride this week. At the time of his ride, Paul Revere was a 41-year-old member of the militia. He was able to warn two men of the danger of their impending arrest during his 22-mile ride under a clear, dark sky. Sybil Ludington, a 16-year-old girl with no training, rode almost twice as far, in a dress, in the pouring rain to call the members of her father's militia back to his farm... over 400 men answered her call.

Join me to learn about the amazing woman who is widely regarded as the mother of the LGBT+ rights movement. Barbara didn't have representation or information about it was like to be "gay," so she made sure that those who came behind her wouldn't have the same struggle. She advocated for queer representation in libraries and for the removal of "homosexuality" as a disorder in the American Psychiatric Associations DSM manual. I know that you'll enjoy hearing about this passionate advocate who dared to go on television, or participate in public forums, using her real name and without a mask on... publicly proclaiming that "GAY IS GOOD!"Find the podcast on instagram @haveyoumetherpodcastEmail ideas, concerns, questions to [email protected]. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/haveyoumether/support

We're continuing our PRIDE celebration this week by talking about a woman who (according to the FBI) was "likely a lesbian," but also so much more. She was the first Chinese American woman to become a physician in the United States, helped establish the first Chinese hospital in California, was friends with the Hollywood elite, and also the adopted mom to over 1,000 servicemen before, during, and after World War II. Dr. Margaret Chung wasn't shy about stretching gender norms and served as a loving, caring friend for those that she cared about.
