Freiheit
In February 1943, a 21-year-old student walked onto her Munich campus carrying a suitcase full of leaflets that could get her killed. This is the story of how an ordinary girl got there, and what the legend leaves out.
Promoter
Imagine having 200-plus canvases that no one wants to buy stacked in your apartment, a baby next you and no idea how you're going to pay your rent in Paris. That was the situation our mystery lady found herself in at age 28. Listen to find out what happened and how she created the brand for the most famous painter in the world.
Marvin
Decades before Charles Darrow ever touched a dice cup, one woman had already designed the game, filed the patent, and built it around a lesson about landlords she wanted the whole country to learn.
Survivor
A young French noblewoman with land, an education, and every advantage her era allowed — until an accusation upended all of it.
The Climber
The first woman to stand on the summit of Everest went on to lead over forty all-female expeditions — and has a mountain range and an asteroid named after her.
Astrologer
She built a business advising some of the wealthiest men on Wall Street, survived a fraud trial that could have ended her career, and kept working anyway.
Defier
She chartered a bank, organized a boycott, took on some of the most powerful men in her city — and designed her own wheelchair when illness tried to slow her down.
The Doctor
A pioneering military surgeon performed one of the earliest successful caesarean sections in the British Empire and kept a secret for nearly a century — one that would have ended everything if discovered.
Pharoah
Fourteen centuries before Cleopatra, one woman ruled Egypt not as a queen or a regent, but as Pharaoh in her own right.
Disguised
America's first female detective talked her way into a job that didn't exist for women yet — and used a fortune-teller disguise to help uncover a plot against a president-elect.
ShapeShifter
The episode that started it all: the story of a Soviet aviator who helped organize an all-female bomber regiment that terrified the Nazi forces they flew against.
