Hi everyone, Happy Women’s Equality Day. I’d been thinking about how to celebrate that here at HATM. We’ve picked up a bunch of new subscribers lately so perhaps the easiest thing to do is just provide a list of episodes with amazing women as guests. If my math is right, we’ve actually had more women on than men, though those numbers are pretty close. We’re coming up on 100 episodes of the pod now, and looking at this list kind of what amazes is me is not that these folks are amazing scholars, but how many of them I count as truly close friends. I hope that in listening or reading their works, maybe you will too. I’ve tried to link to personal websites where I could and add direct links to books as best as I can. As a reminder, I am not compensated for any of that. Just thought it would be cool.
