Same shit, different way! Kelley tells the story of Penelope Barker, a woman living in the American Colonies who capitalized on several husbands' (unintentional) deaths to raise her status, make her own money, and start the first women's led political movement! Then, Emily tells the story Phyllis Lumley, the woman behind the viral 1950s television clip who raised seven children with no arms and, most impressive, didn't need anyone to light her own cigarette. Described as 'A Mother in a Million,' was Phyllis really so different from other women of her time? Grab a bag of mini donuts and persist like the horror you are, because we're wining about herstory!
