We've all heard of the Starlets from the Hollywood Golden Age and they've reached a level of icon that is completely unheard of and unmatched even today. However, do we know about their lives? Do we ever consider the nuances of the way they're perceived? In this episode, we dive into the lives of four of the world's biggest stars, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Doris Day. We also talk about how these four women were shoved into stereotypes, with contracts stricter than the Disney channel, and how they're consistently screwed over by the media, even today.Check out the blog we referenced <a href="https://medium.com/outtake/stop-worshiping-audrey-hepburn-3d4f0506f06">here</a>Want to check out some of our favorite books?

The Power of Fangirls with Emily from The New Nine

Welcome to MORE THAN A MUSE, a weekly podcast where we explore the lives of women artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, and more. Join Stauney (a graphic designer) and Sadie (a singer-songwriter) EVERY MONDAY as we reframe art history and pop culture with feminism, empowering women to be educated, unapologetically angry, and champion those whom history has forgotten. Through in-depth historical discussions and pop culture chats, we spotlight unsung heroines, all while challenging the status quo. It's time to remember every woman artist as 'More Than A Muse'.
