The two presenters, the rebel queens, are full of enthusiasm for female criminals. They talk about "lawless women" in an almost excited and cheerful way. I have to admit that I enjoy listening to them. Be careful, not all the women discussed in this podcast are heroes or victims who resist. Some women are simply violent.
Murder and resistance to inequality in the Victorian era: “Lady Killers” https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m0016pq3
This BBC podcast discusses crimes committed by women in the 19th and 20th centuries from a contemporary feminist perspective. These are often biographies of women who resisted and/or committed murder out of necessity. It is worth listening to all thirty episodes.
"Ik weet trouwens niet wat ik erger vind: vergeten te worden door de geschiedenis of verhalen waarin je permanent als kwetsbaar en hulpbehoevend wordt neergezet."
Mijn nieuwste podcastrecensie:
"Queere piraten en moordenaressen: podcasts over misdadige vrouwen"
In 1923 had de Weimer-republiek al kunnen vallen. Eén van de turbulentste jaren uit de Duitse geschiedenis. 100 jaar geleden! Dat gebeurde niet dankzij Gustav Stresemann. Wat kunnen wij nu nog van hem leren. Luister onze podcast (13 minuten!) #luistertip
