Episode 13: Pre-Herstory

Episode Summary

This week we flip the script on how we’ve been taught to think about women in history. Instead of being passive or just there to serve men, history shows that women were actually key to human survival—gathering food, making tools, raising kids, and shaping society. Women were crucial to our evolution. It’s a fresh take that gives women the credit they’ve always deserved in the story of humanity.

Episode Notes

This week the girls challenge the  long-standing historical narratives, which often portrayed women as passive and secondary to men, existing primarily for male pleasure and procreation. In contrast, we emphasize the vital contributions of women to early human survival and societal development, asserting that women were central to the evolution of humanity.
