Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to a special bonus episode of

Who Dead What Now, the history podcast that is not your history class?

For International Women's Day, 2026, with me, your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet

and reader of books.

So this episode is going to be a little different from what I normally do.

So typically, I like to keep things at least

25 years in the past because that's a full grown adult. Like that's, that's something. However,

as a millennial, I keep living through many major historical events in which landscapes,

nations and societies keep changing. And like, I very nearly called

this episode like, who's doing what now? Just because I am picking something that's happened

within the last five to ten years, something that I think is very important in a person who I don't

feel we have to wait till she dies in order for us to talk about her.

If you are listening to this on Day of Release, it is International Women's Day,

and this is during Women's History Month.

Now, I am going to talk about some more light and fluffy things near the end of the month,

because we're going to need that. But right now I want

to talk about someone who could have very easily just crumpled, hidden and allowed the world to

overlook what happened to her. And it really shines a light on how society is right now,

how easy this is. And the challenges we face together. Now this is going to be difficult for some

of you to hear. I am going to be talking about abuse, sexual assault, rape, just so many horrible, vile things, murder. It's going to be

awful. It's going to be unpleasant and it's not going to be easy for any of us. If you are in any

way sensitive, feel free to skip away, exit stage left, and I will see you next time.
