After decades of struggle against obstacles and expectations that would defeat most of us, Althea Gibson achieved international success in the world of tennis; breaking the color barrier at Wimbledon and opening the game to future generations of players. She built many bridges and fought the good fight in many fields of endeavor - we only wish that her admirers had made sure that Althea realized during her lifetime what an impact she had made on the world.

According to Jessie Tarbox Beals - the first female photojournalist in the world - the key to success is mostly HUSTLE. In her case, it looked like this: arrive in a new town, set up a darkroom, canvas the populace, ingratiate yourself, SNAP SNAP SNAP, develop, print, deliver, catch the train as it's pulling out of the station...

There are quite a few lines on a tennis court; sideline, baseline, service line - all of which have their functions. But beginning in 1950, a powerful and charismatic African American athlete named Althea Gibson began to smash tennis' color lines, one after another. Althea Gibson broke new ground and changed the world's perception of what was possible in the world of sports.

Maria Anna Mozart and Clara Schumann were talented and musically gifted women. They were both child prodigies and both dazzled audiences across Europe. While they were (and still are) often put in the shadow of a talented male relative, one woman quietly stepped out of the spotlight while the other fought to stay.

President Theodore Roosevelt had many challenges during his career… corruption in the
New York police force, the creation of the Panama Canal , the Spanish American war, protecting the Grand Canyon and other national monuments, and groundbreaking anti-trust legislation
But the greatest challenge he faced was a volcano in a blue dress, his eldest daughter - flouter of convention, spicy of demeanor, and perhaps the world’s first media superstar…who admirers across the world came to call America’s “Princess Alice.”

I've only just recently discovered this podcast and love it! I never really thought I was that interested in history, but these 2 ladies make history fun. Highly recommend this podcast
what a wonderful and informative podcast! I enjoyed the movies and book as a kid in the 70's and had no idea of the talent and strengths Ms. Gailbreth had. I look forward to exploring your pintrest page. Thanks so much for a fun diversion!
I think you ladies do a great job of thoroughly researching your subjects. I do food forest design and installation in Puna, Big Island, HI, and often go for your podcasts while I'm working because they're always at least an hour and a half with minimal commercial breaks- meaning I don't have to stop what I'm doing to fast forward through them. I'm mad impressed how you ladies crank these out with full time jobs!
love you girls But don't dis the plaid rooms at Balmoral! Plaid is awesome!!!
a little late finding this podcast .. but love it!! season 1 was great

wow, I didn't realize Frida went through so much. then again, in fairness, I knew very little about Frida before listening to this episode. thanks for sharing
I enjoyed this Minicast. Thanks for sharing!!

Hey @Historychicks look into Virginia Hall-- 1943ish

the 30 second summary was horrible. please don't use the Love Boat theme as an intro. LOL PS. I've been listening to you ladies for nearly 10 years. I love you both.
no comments about how misogynistic her tribe was not to want a woman deputy chief?
Thanks a lot for the information you have provided about the 3D letters on a shelf text effect in Photoshop CC and everything related to it is available in the tutorial so it will be nice https://www.mypascoconnect.biz/ if you can share the tutorial link
So very sorry for your loss, Susan.
