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.

You may not know Daisy Bates but we all should celebrate the contribution she made to the Civil Rights movement and especially the historic event in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
She tore down the wall of segregation in schools in the South. Ms. Bates did what no one had done before. She was instrumental in ensuring that nine black students, the Little Rock Nine, not only were accepted into an all-white high school in Arkansas in 1957 but that they succeeded in continuing their education.
Daisy Bates is an American hero and should be celebrated on a national level.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the whole story of Daisy Bates, an American hero.
