Ep. 82 Uterine Cancer: From Black Bile to Biopsies
Endometrial cancer is now the fourth most common cancer affecting women, but its history is surprisingly overlooked. In the Season 7 finale, we trace the story of uterine cancer from Ancient Egyptian papyri and the theory of the four humors through Byzantine medicine, nineteenth-century surgery, and the hormone replacement therapy boom of the 1960s. Join us as we close out the season by uncovering the fascinating history behind one of the most common gynecologic cancers.

Ep. 81 Aspasia: The OG Influencer
Aspasia was known as the most influential woman in ancient Athens. She lived during the city's Golden Age, and was a foreign-born intellectual who moved in political and philosophical circles, even within a society that largely excluded women from public life. In this episode, we explore Aspasia's relationship with Greek statesman, her reputation as a teacher and rhetorician, and why historians still debate her influence more than 2,400 years later. Her story offers a fascinating look at power, gender, and boundaries of women in Ancients Greek society.
