ESPN recently announced Women’s Sports Sundays, a new primetime block dedicated to women’s sports featuring marquee matchups from the WNBA and NWSL.
On one hand, more primetime visibility for women’s sports is long overdue and worth celebrating. But on the other, a nine-week summer showcase still feels like a small step in an industry that continues to treat women’s sports as a special feature rather than a permanent fixture. We’re glad it exists but we’re also asking the bigger question: why isn’t this the norm yet?Check out Haley Rosen's article here

When we picture lighthouse keepers, we tend to imagine something romantic and solitary—a bearded man on a rocky shore, battling the elements. But in the United States during the 19th century, lighthouse keeping was deeply practical, deeply demanding work, and women were far more involved than most of us realize.
In this episode, we take a closer look at female lighthouse keepers and the essential role they played in keeping early America functioning by focusing on two women: Abbie Burgess and Ida Lewis.
Let us know what you think in the comments!
