Podcast Overview
<div>Inspired by “Classic Tales” and “Lore” podcast, I created this podcast to share tales written by women writers deemed classic literature and popular fiction of their time.

Wildflowers are known for their distinct varieties, and so too were these pioneering writers. Each writer brought her own unique voice, perspective, and experiences to the literary table.
