Ep186. Tennessee Transcestry & A Shameless Woman

Wining About Herstory

This week's episode fueled by garlic chips, wine, and depression! First, Emily shares the story of Frances Thompson, a black trans woman who survived the Memphis race massacre and refused to stay silent about the horrific violence she faced, even in the face of more violence. Then, Kelley tells the tale of Franca Viola, an Italian teenager who was kidnapped by her abusive ex who plotted to force her to marry him by making her a dishonorable woman. Franca refused to be shamed and fought back against her abuser. Grab your garlic butter and plot your heart attack, because we're wining about herstory!
