About Her Half of History
Women's history doesn't have be boring or depressing. I tell the stories of extraordinary women in history, including queens, slaves, spies, scientists, artists, wives, mothers, and more. But most women didn't leave us enough material for a biography, so I also tell you what it was like to be an ordinary woman, including what they wore, how they did housework, how they worked, and how they played. In short, what were the women doing all that time while men were writing the standard history books? This podcast will tell you what those history books forgot to mention.

[…] The fire crossed the river and took in a roofing establishment the gas works and the courthouse. Most devastating of all, It took the waterworks, by which I mean to say the pumps that delivered water through the firemen's hoses, along with 7,500 feet of hose. Those waterworks were roofed with wood, and there was no sprinkler system of any kind. Though they were in the source of water itself, they had no good way to get the water to the roof. With the one and only pumping station in ashes, all water flow ceased, and all those engines coming in from far afield were of very little good in most of the city. […]
