Podcast Overview

When Women Walked is a history podcast about movement — across streets, borders, courtrooms, classrooms, and generations. Hosted by historian and educator Madison Givens, each episode centers the people, places, and moments that history kept moving past. Those who walked anyway. Toward justice. Toward power. Toward survival. Toward change. Some of these stories you've heard before — just not the whole truth. Most of them you haven't heard at all. When Women Walked asks what their movement made possible. And what it still demands of us.
