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.

Barbie is not a bimbo! Ruth's intention for creating the Barbie doll was so that girls could role play who they could be as adults. She wanted the girls to see that they had choices to be whatever their imaginations created.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the story of Ruth Handler from her co-founding and managing of what became Mattel toy manufacturer through her breast cancer experience and her second invention and business that helped millions of women.
