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.

It had to start somewhere and it started with Mary Willard - Forensic Science - the beginning of CSI.
Mary was an assistant professor of chemistry at Penn State University in 1930 when she was first asked to assist with a criminal case. By training and curiosity she became an expert in chemical analysis of evidence from crime scenes.
She became known nationally and internationally for her crime solving abilities by using chemistry.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the story of the interesting, eccentric, brilliant Mary Willard.
