This is longtime Cater Daily podcast host, Caleb Brown. After thousands of episodes over nearly 18 years,

I've moved on from the Cater Daily podcast, but in the interim, I, along with some of you,

have selected some favorites. I hope they resonate with our current moment and continue to spark

the desire to defend liberty. Thank you for listening.

This is the Cater Daily podcast for Wednesday, November 16th, 2016. I'm Caleb Brown. When we

evaluate women and other groups as historical actors reducing their role to mere interactions with

the state, does them a tremendous disservice. Anthony Kamegna, assistant editor for

intellectual history at libertarianism.org, comments.

Before we started recording, we were talking about what makes important women in history,

important women in history. important women in history.

of important women, especially important libertarian women.

Yeah, I mean, really, that point is not limited to women either.

Part of the problem with historians is that we so often get tunnel vision into the sources

that we forget that the sources themselves

are extremely limited, that they come from a very small portion of the population, and that

if all we do is look at the written sources, the written record, we really don't capture

much about broader society.

So many people are left out of the written record.

Their experiences might as well not exist.
