EP 91: The Van Buren Sisters (and Other Slack-Wearing Suffragettes)

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing a few stories of what we like to call slack-wearing suffragettes. This episode has a heavy focus, however, on the Van Buren Sisters who were two sisters who rode 5,500 miles in 60 days to cross the continental United States on their own motorcycle! In 1916, they became the second and third women to drive motorcycles across the entire continent!
