Hello everyone!

I, your host Taylor, want to introduce the new name of this podcast. You knew it before as "Muses of History" but I am changing it to "This day in Herstory".

My previous co-host is no longer able to continue with the podcast, and I am taking it in a bit of a different direction.

But we didn't want to leave our listeners high and dry so I decided just to rebrand it, so you would all know where to find me! :)

We are pleased to welcome our first guest, Janet Somerville, to end our first season. She told us all about Martha Gellhorn and the book she wrote about her:

"Yours, for probably always Martha Gellhorn's letters of love &war 1930-1949"

This emotional episode is about how Janet learned about Martha, her research efforts, and the life changing events of Martha's life and its relevance to our time.

Before there was Jurassic Park and Alan Grant, there was Mary Anning, the Paleontologist! Hear us chat about my (Taylor) favorite movie and Mary Anning, who made history in fossil hunting at 12 years old.

This story has a con-artist, a cardinal, a huge diamond necklace (Hence the name!), and even a look-a-like Marie.
