| 0:29.8 | Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Who Did What Now, the history podcast that is not your history class with me, your disorganized host, Katie Charlwood, macab unicorn and reader of books. |
| 0:37.0 | Okay, okay, this episode's a little sooner than what you're |
| 0:40.0 | used to if you are used to being here. And if you're new, hi and welcome. I don't usually do |
| 0:47.1 | this many episodes in a week, but here we go. Because it is Women's History Month, I decided |
