Ep 112 - Disability Pride Tribute (plus - the surprising tie to the Black Panthers)
<p><strong></p><p><br></p><p>They Made Us Invisible. We Made History.</p><p><br></p><p>In 1881, the city of Chicago made it illegal to be visibly disabled in public. The fine was one dollar per offense — roughly thirty dollars today — for the crime of existing where someone could see you. Those laws stayed on the books in American cities until 1974.</p><p><br></p><p>This Disability Pride Month, K and L look at four women the history books “forgot” Plus: the Black Panther who saved the longest nonviolent federal building occupation in U.S. history, the Supreme Court ruling that has never been overturned, and why the people who fought the hardest are the ones you've never heard of.</p><p><br></p><p>The erasure is part of the system. Not anymore.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 We are on all major platforms- Listen wherever you get your podcasts</p><p><br></p><p>We made the “Top 80 Badass Female Podcasts”! We are number 30, in fact!

Ep 111 - Queer in Code - this fascinating life of Anne Lister
<p><strong>Happy Pride Month! </p><p>On this episode of Bitchstory, we’re spending time with Anne Lister — a Queer Englishwoman of the 1800s. She is the woman behind a wild code that she used her entire life, to document every detail of her life. She was many things, a wife, the landowner, the original “Gentleman Jack” (which would have been considered a slur). We get into the diaries, the relationships, the texture of her daily life, and what it meant to live as fully and unapologetically as she did in Regency-era England.</p><p><br></p><p>We have thoughts. We have feelings. We have theories. We have a lot of gratitude for Helena Whitbread, who gave us this gift by deciding the diaries. We even looked at Anne’s astrology, and to say “heavy Aries” is an understatement! Whoa!</p><p><br></p><p>Come for the history. Stay for the part where we lose our minds a little bit!</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 We are on all major platforms- Listen wherever you get your podcasts</p><p><br></p><p>We made the “Top 80 Badass Female Podcasts”!

Ep 110- Crimes of Fashion
<p>You know the perfume. You don’t know the woman. By the end of this episode you’re going to be furious that the only thing most people associate with her name is a bottle on a department store counter.</p><p><br></p><p>We don’t usually think about fashion and war crimes at the same time. Today’s episode forces us to. This story is about 2 MAJOR fashion houses and the very different roles they played in Nazi occupation in Europe. Trigger warnings apply. Please listen with care as this episode discusses concentration camps, rape, and torture (nothing detailed). I would call this episode adult content only. </p><p><br></p><p>🎧 We are on all major platforms- Listen wherever you get your podcasts, </p><p><br></p><p>THE BLOG: kellymcclain.blogspot.com</p><p>PATREON: Patreon.com/Bitchscopes</p><p>INSTAGRAM: @bitchstory.pod @apothe.kelly @kellymcbitch</p><p>THE EMAIL: heybitches@bitchstory.net</p><p>CONTRIBUTE: 💲We insert zero ads and have no subscription fees.
