We wanted to celebrate both International Women’s History Day on March 8th, and Women’s History Month covering all of March, but how could we possibly pick one or even 31 women to honor? Then we remembered that every month is Women’s History Month here at The History Chicks, so we put together a mini-episode that will lead you from our podcast history to all of women’s history in our catalog and beyond.
We hope that you honor the women who came before us all, and teach the women of the future, however you think is best. Have a listening party, share a woman’s story with people you know, or learn and act on lessons from women’s history in your own life and trust that the ripples will reach far beyond it. xo Beckett & Susan

In honor of not only National Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day and National Women’s History Month, we’ve remastered and re-edited our coverage of Jane Addams, the Mother of Social Work, into one episode. This show, like all of our episodes, is broken into chapters with good stopping and restarting points.

Our New England Field Trip to Boston and Newport from October 16-23, 2022, is filling fast, with just a few more open spaces left. We would love to travel with you, and the folks at Like Minds Travel did a spectacular job organizing the tours around our former subjects, and the dinners for maximum fun…we’re so very, very excited!
And, finally, here is a direct link to our new merch shop if you’re thinking, “I would love a t-shirt, tote, sticker, magnet…something to support The History Chicks!” (And there is always a button to the right, scroll down, that says Shop our Shop! —->)
