You don't always have to be a grown-up to impact the world. When Samantha was just 10 years old, she wrote a letter to the newly-elected leader of the Soviet Union and DEMANDED to know if he was planning a nuclear war. Sometimes we tease about having the confidence of a middle-aged white man, but I think from now on, I'll wish for the confidence and conviction of Samantha Smith.

Today we're talking about cars... specifically, how much everyone hates to have car issues. While there exists an amazing Automotive Clinic in Philadelphia that is founded and ran by women today, have you met the woman who, in the 1920s opened a woman-run garage in Australia? Alice Anderson was certainly WAY ahead of her time.

Join me this week to hear about a woman who lived life with an intensity that most of us only dream about. Dervla refused to live by anyone else's standards or expectations, and at 31 decided that it was time to live her dream of riding her bike from Ireland to India. Her adventures are documented in her many, many travel books, but what she did best was see the beauty in the truth of places. She believe that travel writers had a responsibility to tell the truth and with these goals in mind, she became a chronicler of the world.
I loved learning about Dervla and hope that you do, too!

In every era there are people who are othered, silenced or scapegoated. The details change, but the pattern remains. And that's why telling Moll Dyer's story is not just about folklore, its about empathy. It's about remembering Moll Dyer and saying firmly - "We will not forget the women history tried to burn, bury, or freeze out of existence."

We're talking about witchy women, magic and spooky stuff this month... Marie Laveau made my list because I feel like the mysticism around this Voodoo Queen more than qualified her. I scratched the surface and shared with you what I found... but there is so much more to find out about and admire in this woman who was a loved and respected leader, a successful businesswoman, and a caretaker of her community.

We're talking about women who had POWERFUL VOICES this month... and Lucy Parsons starts us off. Lucy was a labor organizer, a writer and a gifted orator who poured everything she had into her beliefs. MANY have downplayed her contributions to the labor movement by referring to her as "Albert Parsons' wife"... but she was so much more than that.

Imagine being a child in 1920s New York City and walking into a library only to find someone speaking your language AND telling stories your own abuela told you. That was the magic of Pura Belpre. She was the first Puerto Rican librarian in New York City, a storyteller, and a trailblazer who planted "story seeds" that continue to bloom.
