In honor of Women's History Month, we're asking ourselves... "What does it mean to be a woman?"For today's guest Melissa Herrera, being a woman means being resilient. Melissa is the host & creator of Mimosa Sisterhood, a women’s history & lifestyle podcast dedicated to celebrating & amplifying women’s voices, past and present. But don't mistake her for a historian. What started as two girlfriends in college studying feminist history who regularly ditched class to drink at the bar, has now turned into a weekly celebration of women's stories with Melissa's unique spin of "equal parts feminist and equal parts party girl"!Melissa's mission is to set the record straight about women in history by sharing captivating stories of women whose stories were either swept under the rug or completely written over. And to celebrate this month of HERstory, we asked Melissa to bring three of her favorite must-know women of history to talk about on the podcast today!In this episode, we chat about… Healing our wounds by learning other women's stories Three of her fav women in history (see below 😉 ) The lessons she's learned about womanhood by studying history What being a woman means to herWoman #1: Girl Scouts Founder Juliette Gordon Low The revolutionary part she played in WWI and her mission to empower women to help one another while helping humanity How her legacy lives on to impact millions of young girls still todayWoman #2: The Canadian Rosa Parks, Viola Desmond Her empowering story of entrepreneurship wiped from history (or so she thought) as a result of racial injustice The redemption and justice that came 50+ years after her deathWoman #3: World-renowned photographer and pioneer Gerda Taro Her courageous and iconic career as a war photographer falsely credited to an alias her ex-boyfriend claimed as his own Her scandalous death thought to have been an intentional hit due to her outspoken stance on anti-fascismFind your girl gang at theshefactor.com!RESOURCES: Instagram: @mimosasisterhood mimosasisterhood.com Listen to her latest episode co-hosted by our very own Tori Ganahl!
