A Simple Herstory

More than one hundred women have run for President of the United States, but their stories are rarely heard. So, what if they decided to correct the record and take matters into their own hands? A Simple Herstory might start as a polite podcast about women's history, a cursory dip into some forgotten "badass women." It soon (d)evolves, however, into a hostile takeover of the mic, as Season One's leading subject, Victoria Woodhull, the first female presidential candidate, demands to have the entirety of her story told. This means the abuse, the narcissism, the sex, and the criminality - and not just the you go, girl bits fit for broadcast. —jk
