In the first Episode of Season Two of the podcast, Chrissy chats to Melissa Jones from the Women's Museum of California, and discovers how the museum is expanding and evolving to include several online exhibitions, community work, educational spaces, and much more.
Melissa also tells us the stories of three amazing American women - Mary Maschal, Alice Park, and Alice Hohlmeyer. Mary Maschal was the original founder of the Women's Museum of California and the story of how she worked tirelessly to preserve women's history is extraordinary. Alice Park was a lifelong suffragist and pacifist, whose papers and documents, Mary Maschal discovered and preserved & Alice Hohlmeyer played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1946 to 1951. Hear all these fascinating stories and lots more interesting historical chat, on this podcast episode, which continues the #SistersAcrossTheAtlantic theme that we began last year.
