Seja feita justiça: refiram-se muitas das Senhoras que fizeram a diferença na política do mundo e nos direitos das próprias mulheres. Da Antiguidade aos dias de hoje, muitas são aquelas cuja obra não é conhecida por completo ou divulgada na sua verdadeira amplitude. Raquel Vaz Pinto e Pedro Vieira fazem uma viagem de cinquenta minutos por muitos cantos da História e trazem à luz todas aquelas de quem não se fala tanto (ou se fala demasiado pouco) mas que merecem referência pelo papel extraordinário que desempenharam para que a igualdade de género se vá tornando uma realidade. Ambos lamentam tantas que ficaram de fora; quem sabe o sucesso deste episódio não traga mais um em que ambos possam acrescentar mais ‘Senhoras, primeiro'.REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEIS:Women & Power, Mary BeardPortuguesas Extraordinárias, Maria do Rosário PedreiraUma vindicação dos direitos das mulheres, Mary WollstonecraftThe Histories, HerodotusA Rainha Pirata, Susan RonaldOn the subjection of women, John Stuart MillNovas cartas portuguesas, Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Teresa Horta, MariaVelho da CostaCarta de Eleanor Roosevelt à Presidente da Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR):https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/american_originals/eleanor.htmlGreece vs Rome, with Boris Johnson and Mary Beard:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k448JqQyj8Elizabeth:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127536/Três Mulheres:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7276352/YPJ:https://thekurdishproject.org/history-and-culture/kurdish-women/ypj/Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngozi_Okonjo-IwealaBIOSRAQUEL VAZ PINTOÉ Investigadora do Instituto Português de Relações Internacionais (IPRI) da Universidade Nova de Lisboa e Prof. Auxiliar Convidada da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da mesma Universidade, onde lecciona a disciplina de Estudos Asiáticos.Foi Presidente da Associação Portuguesa de Ciência Política de 2012 a 2016.

Bill Myers Inspires  As we begin our Black History Month series, let us take an in depth journey into America's history of interracial relationships.  The thought that interracial relationships is a "modern trend" or fad in America could not be further from the actual truth.  Tune In as we explore these unique relationships that are deeply embedded in America's history with my special guest and host of "Daughter Dialogues" podcast,  Ms. Reisha Raney. Reisha Raney is an American tech entrepreneur and oral historian who dedicates her time to telling the unique stories of Black Americans who are descended from veterans of the Revolutionary War.

Reisha is related to Mary Turpin, an enslaved Black woman who married Jefferson's second cousin. Reisha's relatives, Edwin and Mary Turpin, lived until their deaths as a married couple (although their marriage was not legally recognized) in neighboring houses on a plantation in Goochland County, Virginia. Reisha is also a non-resident fellow at Harvard University's W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at the Hutchins Center for African & African American Research. Under the supervision of Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., she conducts her oral history research into Black descendants of the Revolutionary War, Reisha is also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), where she was elected Maryland's first Black officer in the society. https://www.daughterdialogues.com      jocelynbaustin@gmail.com    ~ More About Bill Myers Inspires ~  Emmy Award-winning actor Bill Myers is an accomplished actor, jazz musician, filmmaker, writer, educator, and speaker.

Wendy Wilson Spooner shares how she healed from trauma and why it is important for every family to know it is okay to be imperfect (everybody is). Wendy Spooner: 5 Lessons Every Imperfect Family Should KnowBioWendy Wilson Spooner is a professional genetic genealogist by day, a writer by night, and an artist in between. Her love of what we can learn from history compels her to write the true stories she has found on earth doing research, and she has found that truth is indeed much more exciting and inspiring than fiction. She writes about family, faith, grief, art, and overcoming obstacles in life by coming to know who we truly are as children of God, and the descendants of remarkable people who paved the way before us, even if they really struggled. She believes in learning from our ancestors, honoring them, and then standing on their shoulders to become someone even better. As an award winning artist and author of professional articles and poems, Wendy turned to novel writing to share what she knows with a wider audience. Art in Every Aspect of her LifeWendy says that she was born with artistic abilities. She has been painting and drawing for as long as she can remember. Her mother encouraged her to enter her pieces into contest. She pursued a major in art in college. Other things became more important throughout her life, but art has always been a part of her life, even in unexpected ways, like cake decorating. A New NovelArt is an integral part of her new book, "Once Upon an Irish Summer." The novel follows the true story of an epic immigration from Ireland, but also follows his descendant five generations later, a present day 15 year old who is a gifted artist. She is suffering from debilitating grief that is affecting her art career. The historical chapters are actually about the family of Wendy's third-great grandfather. He left Ireland to find a way to save his family. The Daughters of the American RevolutionArt even brought Wendy national prominence in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) organization. Wendy says that proving your lineage all the way back to a patriot of the Revolutionary War is very difficult, even for professional genealogists, but that she loved the challenge. For Wendy, there was an even greater draw to the organization than the challenge of proving her descent. Every year, the Daughters of the American Revolution holds the American Heritage contest. There are lots of art categories that you can enter a piece in through the contest. All of these entries pour into the homes of vice chair members and the judging takes place in February. The winning entries go on display in Washington D.C. at the Continental Congress every two years. In 2018, Wendy's painting won first place. The national regent contacted Wendy and asked her to be vice chair or the art and sculpture category. Only 2% of members of the DAR will ever hold a national position, so Wendy was honored to be chosen. Early TraumaWendy's life wasn't always rosy though. When she was growing up, her family had some truly tragic experiences. Because of this trauma, the family had some attachment problems but they never got any help for the things they had gone through. Wendy was very close to her brother though, who is five years older than her. When she was 13, he left to serve a mission for their church. For her, it was like her lifeline was taken away. Wendy says that she looked outside her home for a replacement, but that she didn't attract the greatest people for friends. She started getting into a lot of trouble and lost sight of those things that are truly important. She lost all sense of how her decision would affect herself or her family. For a few years, she really struggled. You Make an ImpactAfter a particularly difficult day, Wendy remembers staring out her bedroom world and just loathing her family and everything else. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind and heart: "You are right...

Karen Batchelor will share the many unexpected twists and turns on her 40-year family history journey and how what she has learned from the past has changed her life. Karen started doing genealogy because of a New Year’s resolution in 1976 - before the Internet and computers. By 1977, she became the first known Black woman to be admitted for membership in Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Since then, Karen has discovered ancestors who were slaves and slaveowners, patriots and Puritans and even a colonial witch or two. Her family history in America goes back to the year 1630.  With a background in the practice of law and over 40 years of experience as a genealogist, Karen founded Story Mountain LLC, where she helps others with family research. She specializes in colonial New England and the Revolutionary War era; preparation of lineage applications; and analysis of historic legal documents. In addition to her client work, Karen serves as a National Vice Chair of Lineage Research for DAR and is a certified instructor of guided autobiography.   Karen continues to research her own family history, making discoveries that have recently led to membership in five other hereditary societies. When not "hot on the trail" of the long-dead but not forgotten, Karen enjoys spending time with family and friends, knitting and has been known to dress up in 18th century clothing on occasion. She lives in a historic 1898 building in Midtown Detroit.
