<p>What happens when fashion, politics, and fraud collide in the glittering halls of Versailles? Tune in and find out about this gem-uine (yeah that really was awful) controversy! In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at L’Affaire du Collier de la Reine or the Affair of the Queen’s Necklace. This scandal shook the French monarchy, dragged Marie Antoinette’s name through the mud, and became a turning point in the lead-up to the French Revolution.

Rethinking the Flow: Unpacking Menstrual Wear
<p><strong>And (after an eternity)…we’re back!</strong> <br>Join us today as we take a closer look at the fascinating (and perhaps a bit messy) history of period garments. Not breeches and corsets à la Bridgerton period dress, but the development of things like menstrual belts, vaginal packs, early tampons, and the rise of reusable options like the mooncup and period pants/panties. We’ll explore where these products came front, the cultural forces and taboos that shaped them, and how they’ve evolved in relation to changing societal attitudes toward menstruation. It’s sure to be a bloody brilliant ride!</p><p><br></p><p>If you have any requests, questions, or simply feel like saying hello (we're friendly and Mr. B, our Executive Paw-ducer, is a purr-fect angel), drop us a line at historyunhemmedpodcast@gmail.com.</p><p>You can also find us on social media:</p><p>Instagram: @history_unhemmed</p><p>Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/people/History-Unhemmed/100084597553601/</p><p>We are also on Patreon at: Patreon.com/historyunhemmed</p><p><br></p><p>THANK YOU!</p><p><br></p><p>RESOURCES:</p><p>Alliance for Period Supplies.
