Meg, the daughter of two academic historians herself, is troubled by the unimaginative story told about women throughout history: that they were always oppressed, quiet, and un-influential until feminism arrived on the stage to set us all free. While inequality has always haunted the world, as Meg investigated the lives of women throughout history, she found stories as diverse and beautiful as you could imagine. Meg applied her own training as a historian to explore the stories of women from 1000 A.D., whom she also creates original illustrations for. Her project shows a kaleidoscope of colorful lives.
On this episode, Meg shares with me about her project, and tells the story of two remarkable women from 1000AD. Listen in!
