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.

This week's episode is about the Packhorse Librarians of Kentucky.
96 women of rural Kentucky rode up to 100 miles per week on horses and mules delivery books to remote, isolated corners of the Appalachia Mountains from 1935 to 1943. They are the true unsung heroes of America.
Join Kit and Sherlock to hear the story of how it started and how it not only saved some women from starvation but helped thousands of people expand their world and improve their lives.
