Badass Women of America
This podcast is about the women in history who broke barriers and made history yet you probably have never heard of them. Join us each week for a new episode about a woman or women who fought in wars, were amazing explorers, were pioneers in aviation – women who weren’t in our history books. These were exciting, brave, adventurous women who helped shaped this country. Join me, Kit and my friend Sherlock, as we share the exciting stories of these women whom you will want to know. These are the Badass Women of America.

The Ordinary Yet Mysterious Civil War Soldier, Rosetta Wakeman
Rosetta Wakeman, AKA Pvt. Lyon Wakeman of the Civil War, wrote many letters home. Historians see her one way, we see her another way - a woman in search of identity during the Victorian age when women weren't given any choices. Rosetta made her own choices as a Union Civil War soldier.
She didn't do anything that historians see as spectacular but she was spectacular in forging a way for women to find their own identity.
