Hannah Arendt didn’t write about monsters. She wrote about ordinary people who stop thinking — and what that does to the world. In this episode, we dig into the life of the Jewish philosopher who gave us the phrase “the banality of evil,” fled the Nazis, pissed off half the intellectual world, and refused to make evil feel dramatic or mysterious. This is the story of a woman who believed thinking clearly was a moral act. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.THE BLOG: kellymcclain.blogspot.comTHE EMAIL: heybitches@bitchstory.netBITCHSCOPES: Patreon.com/bitchscopesCONTRIBUTE: 💲We insert zero ads and have no subscription fees.

Ep 106 - GPS Queen - Dr. Gladys West

Welcome to Bitchstory! We are uncovering history's forgotten heroines and badasses. Most of the women covered on this show have been left out of the history books for reasons you can guess. Some are names you know, some are women that history has completely snubbed. We are revising history to be fun, inclusive, entertaining, and of course, feminist as f*ck! Email us at "Heybitches@bitchstory.net". Always check the show notes for our sources and other important information.
