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.

Trailblazing Women Doctors of the 1800-1900s
Elizabeth Blackwell and Alice Ball - two women doctors who made history long, long, long before we were born!
Elizabeth Blackwell tried multiple times to get accepted into a medical school in the 1840s only to be finally accepted because everyone thought it was a prank!
Alice Ball, at the age of 23, earned a master's degree from the University of Hawaii and discovered a new treatment for leprosy only to have it stolen from her. She died mysteriously at the age of 24.
Join Kit and Sherlock as they deep dive into the accomplishments of these two remarkable American women.
