In this episode, we try to figure out even where to begin the story of women's suffrage... spoiler alert: it doesn't start with white women! Join us in learning about the powerful "uterine voice" of the Haudenosaunee women (shout out to Louise Wahkehrakats:te Herne, Mohawk Clan Mother of the Bear Clan, for that incredible turn of phrase) and the ancient political power of Native women that inspired white suffragists... many of whom then ignored the U.S. government's systematic disavowal of Native sovereignty and abuse of Native Peoples as their own rights expanded. So much toxic white lady-ness, so little time.
