In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with author Becky Aikman about her book 'Spitfires,' which uncovers the remarkable stories of American women pilots during World War II. These women, known as the ‘Atta Girls,' defied societal expectations and took to the skies to ferry military aircraft for the British during a time when their contributions were largely forgotten. Aikman shares insights into the lives of these pioneering aviators, the challenges they faced, and the impact they had on aviation and women's roles in wartime. This conversation explores the remarkable stories of American women pilots during World War II, focusing on their bravery, social lives, and the challenges they faced both in the air and on the ground. The discussion highlights their daring incidents, coping mechanisms for psychological tolls, and the significant social changes they experienced. It also delves into class differences, cultural clashes, and the impact of their contributions on women's rights and aviation history. The legacy of these women is celebrated, emphasizing their determination and the recognition they deserve. Links Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger During World War II - Amazon Link Spitfires - Bookshop.org link Becky Aikman Official Website Takeaways The book highlights the bravery and ambition of American women pilots during WWII. Becky Aikman was inspired by her mother's recollection of these women. Hazel Jane Rains is a central figure in the narrative of the Etta Girls. The women faced significant dangers, including mechanical failures and unpredictable weather. Despite their contributions, these women were largely forgotten after the war. The British military was more accepting of women pilots compared to the American military. The women enjoyed a sense of freedom and control while serving in the war. Aikman meticulously researched crash scenes using multiple sources. The spirit of competition and ambition drove these women to excel in aviation. The story of these women is a testament to breaking barriers in aviation. They lived life to the fullest despite the dangers. Winnie Pierce was known for her wild flying style. Pilots had to make split-second decisions in crises. Compartmentalization was key to coping with trauma. The war provided a sense of freedom for women. Class differences created initial cultural clashes. Social lives were intertwined with their careers. Women in aviation paved the way for future generations. Recognition of their contributions is long overdue. Flying represented freedom and joy for these women. Sound Bites "These daring aviators defied expectations." "You could not make this up." "The British treated them equally." "They were living life to the fullest." "They compartmentalized their trauma." "It was very freeing for them." "It was all about who you know."

They were crop dusters and debutantes, college girls and performers in flying circuses-all of them trained as pilots. Because they were women, they were denied the opportunity to fly for their country when the United States entered the Second World War. But Great Britain, desperately fighting for survival, would let anyone-even Americans, even women-transport warplanes. Thus, twenty-five daring young aviators bolted for England in 1942, becoming the first American women to command military aircraft. In a faraway land, these "spitfires" lived like women decades ahead of their time. Risking their lives in one of the deadliest jobs of the war, they ferried new, barely tested fighters and bombers to air bases and returned shot-up wrecks for repair, never knowing what might go wrong until they were high in the sky. Many ferry pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves. It was exciting, often terrifying work. The pilots broke new ground off duty as well, shocking their hosts with thoroughly modern behavior. With cinematic sweep, in Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger during World War II (Bloomsbury, 2025) Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the women who served, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and records, along with her own interviews, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to life. Spitfires is a vivid, richly detailed account of war, ambition, and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as their dreams. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Wednesday is the 80th anniversary of VE Day, marking Germany’s unconditional surrender and the end of WWII in Europe. A new book “Spitfires” tells the little-known contribution American women made to that outcome by flying combat aircraft — not for U.S. forces, which denied them the opportunity, but for Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary.

Last week, we learned that the NWSL submitted an application to U.S. Soccer to create its very own second division soccer league. The NWSL's intent for a new reserve league came just weeks after WPSL Pro had been awarded second division sanctioning for its league. All this has got us wondering at Full Time: What is the landscape of American women's soccer right now? What should a second division women's soccer league look like within that landscape? And why are there so many of them popping up right now? The Athletic's Jeff Rueter also joins the show to talk about his column looking at the history of lower division soccer in the U.S. and what the NWSL needs to be aware of as it moves forward. And, hear from industry leaders across the country, Andrea Yoch (MN Aurora FC, USL-W), Jamie Lovey (California Storm, WPSL), and Chris Petrucelli (Dallas Trinity, USL-Super League) who share their insights on what the most vital parts of the women's soccer ecosystem really are. _______________ Articles mentioned on the show: A lower-division league is good for women's soccer. But is NWSL's proposal the solution? NWSL requested permission to start a new second division. What does it mean for women's soccer?

Much queer theory in America is based on white male experience and privilege, excluding people of color and severely limiting its relevance to third-world activism.

In this flashback episode, Patrick Casale talks with Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo, co-founder of Strong Children Wellness and founder of Melanin in Medicine. They discuss empowering BIPOC clinicians, promoting health equity, and developing sustainable practices.Key Takeaways:Diversify Revenue Streams: Strong Children Wellness thrives by diversifying income sources, collaborating with nonprofit partners, and securing grants. This strategy ensures steady growth and sustainability.Creative Expertise Utilization: Clinicians can leverage their skills beyond direct health services by offering trainings, educational programs, and strategic advisory services, especially via contracts with nonprofits.Strategic Partnerships: Building relationships with nonprofits and community organizations can enhance impact and secure funding opportunities, leading to more comprehensive care for under-resourced populations.Whether you're an established clinician or just starting out, Omolara's journey from pediatrics to pioneering a 7-figure group practice offers profound insights for anyone in the private practice field.About OmolaraPrompted by a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2019, Dr. Omolara transitioned from her career as a professor, researcher & pediatrician to co-founder of Strong Children Wellness — a multi-practice healthcare network that partners with communities to provide tech-enabled physical health, mental health, and social care for Medicaid-eligible & uninsured children and families, including those impacted by poverty, trauma, and immigration inequities. As a social entrepreneur, she has secured over $1,000,000 in funding in less than 2 years, without loans or investors. This prompted her to create Melanin & Medicine, a healthcare consulting firm that supports mission-driven healthcare organizations serving communities of color to secure grants, contracts, & alternative payments to help them scale and make greater impact. Dr. Uwemedimo is a noted speaker on social entrepreneurship, funding strategies in healthcare, community-based healthcare for under-resourced communities, and clinical & advocacy approaches to supporting anti-poverty health policies, including access to safety net programs, such as Medicaid, SNAP, & TANF.

We're told that entrepreneurship is the ultimate path to freedom, but for a lot of women, it's starting to feel more like a trap. In this episode, we're talking about how being your own boss somehow turned into doing everything—and why so many women are burnt out, overwhelmed, and quietly questioning if this is what success is supposed to feel like.We'll get into hustle culture, the pressure to be constantly “on,” and how social media's version of entrepreneurship often leaves out the very real mental load women are carrying.Whether you're a business owner, dreaming of starting something, or simply feeling the burnout of wearing too many hats, this conversation is for you. You can follow here: https://www.instagram.com/thejaimemclaughlin/Learn more here: https://www.jaimemclaughlin.com

David Waldman delivers us to the end of the week. Anyone not detained this weekend for acts of dispatriotism can meet back here on Monday. Russia seems to use David's random country generator to pick out its disinformation targets. Today it's Austria! SignalGate! It turns out that you can get in a lot of trouble for accidentally adding a reporter to a group email. “You” are not, however, one of the morons on the Houthi PC Small Group chat. Those folks are in a special protected class of super-morons. The more stupidity linked to them, such as public Venmo accounts with payments to eggplants, the more they are called out, such as Senator Tammy Duckworth calling Pete Hegseth “a f*cking liar” who needs to resign in disgrace, the more Donald K. Trump will defend them and lock down Gops from doing anything about it. Hillary Clinton writing an op-ed for the Times has secured Pete Hegseth the job for life. Trump is afraid of confrontation and making any decisions tougher than picking out colors anyhow. Elise Stefanik, on the other hand, isn't that much of a dangerous idiot to become concerned about. Trump figured that she could break just as much stuff if she kept her old job. Trump is cutting the “racial stuff” from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and “gender” from the American Women's history museum, as well as “improper ideology” from the National Zoo. Thinking incorrectly at a university can earn you a free sightseeing trip in an unmarked van with a canvas bag on your head.  Trump's sister declared the immigration law he used “unconstitutional”. While we're talking about Trumps, Vanessa Trump is in a relationship with Tiger Woods! Yep, Vanessa sure has a thing for those “bad boys”… Wait, who is Vanessa Trump?

Episode Description: In this inspiring episode of Black Is America, host Dominic Lawson takes us on a cinematic, time-traveling journey through the lives of three iconic Black women whose speed transcended the track: Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo Jo), and Sha'Carri Richardson. Joined by Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson, Dominic explores how each of these women didn't just run — they defied societal expectations, symbolizing freedom, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Black womanhood. From Wilma's battle with polio to Flo Jo's fashion-forward domination, and Sha'Carri's public redemption arc, this episode is a masterclass in perseverance and Black excellence. Tune in to uncover why for Black women, speed isn't just about winning — it's about being seen, celebrated, and rewriting history. Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways: Wilma Rudolph's journey: From polio-stricken childhood to becoming the fastest woman in the world at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed: How Flo Jo combined athletic dominance with unapologetic beauty and cultural impact, redefining what a champion could look like. Sha'Carri Richardson's redemption story: How the sprinter's suspension became a national conversation on grace, resilience, and how Black women are held to impossible standards — and how she roared back stronger. The power of representation and freedom: Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson reflects on seeing Flo Jo as a child and how that vision of beauty and freedom inspired generations. Black women in business and politics: How Black women continue to break records not just on the track, but as entrepreneurs, educators, and changemakers. Historical context and cinematic storytelling: A non-linear journey through the stories of these women, enriched with sound design, Olympic archives, and historical parallels. The ongoing conversation around protecting and celebrating Black women: From Sandra Bland to Breonna Taylor, the episode challenges listeners to see victories without footnotes and to honor Black women's humanity and excellence fully. Notable Soundbites & Quotes from the Episode: "Speed is not just about moving fast — it's freedom." — Moushaumi Robinson "Black women don't just show up. They show out." — Dominic Lawson "It's always the first, but rarely the celebration." — Moushaumi Robinson "Sha'Carri's suspension wasn't just about track; it was about who gets grace and who doesn't." — Dominic Lawson "Black women mold adversity into strength — on the track, in boardrooms, and in Congress." — Dominic Lawson Final Thoughts This episode is a moving tribute to the legacy of Black women who run not just to win, but to inspire, break barriers, and push the world forward. Through Wilma, Flo Jo, and Sha'Carri, we're reminded that speed is more than physical — it's a spiritual declaration of freedom and resilience.

Since the commercial introduction of the automobile, US automakers have always sought women as customers and advertised accordingly. How, then, did car culture become so masculine? In Pink Cars and Pocketbooks: How American Women Bought Their Way into the Driver's Seat (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2025), Dr. Jessica Brockmole shares the untold history of women's relationship with automobiles: a journey marked by struggle, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of independence. This groundbreaking work explores the evolution of women's automotive participation and the cultural shifts that have redefined their roles as drivers, mechanics, and consumers. Dr. Brockmole traces the rise of gendered marketing of automobiles over the course of the twentieth century. Auto companies created ads that conformed to commonly held ideas about women's relationships with automobiles. As the century progressed, marketing to women became less informative and even more gendered: the automotive industry portrayed women as passengers, props, or reluctant drivers, interested primarily in aesthetics. And yet, by the 1970s, female drivers were communicating directly with each other, forming clubs, and teaching each other through women-focused repair manuals. By examining market research studies, advertising archives, trade journals, women's magazines, newspapers, driving handbooks, and repair manuals, this book shows how women bought their way into the automobile and masculine car culture. Brockmole uncovers the stories of pioneering women who defied conventions, such as trailblazer Alice Ramsey, the first woman to drive across the United States in 1909, and Barb Wyatt, whose contributions to automotive manuals broke new ground. Women have always been users of technology, and this book illustrates how the auto industry evolved—as well as how it chose not to evolve—in response. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Betty Shamieh was the first Palestinian American playwright to have a play produced off-Broadway. She describes her debut novel, Too Soon, as a "Palestinian American Sex and the City." The novel follows three Palestinian American women across generations as they navigate love and identity. In today's episode, Shamieh speaks with NPR's Pien Huang about using comedy as a way to humanize characters who may be dehumanized in the real world, the 10 year writing process for the book, and how she didn't necessarily want to write it, but she knew she had to.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In the tense years of the early Cold War, American and Soviet women conducted a remarkable pen-pal correspondence that enabled them to see each other as friends rather than enemies. In a compelling new perspective on the early Cold War, prizewinning historian Alexis Peri's new book “Dear Unknown Friend” explores the correspondence between American and Soviet women beginning in the last years of World War II and continuing into the 1950s. Previously unexamined, the women's letters movingly demonstrate the power of the personal, as the pen pals engaged in a “diplomacy of the heart” that led them to question why their countries were so divided.

How the US asylum process fails to protect against claims of gender-based violence. Through eyewitness accounts of closed-court proceedings and powerful testimony from women who have sought asylum in the United States because of severe assaults and death threats by intimate partners and/or gang members, Private Violence: Latin American Women and the Struggle for Asylum (NYU Press, 2024) examines how immigration laws and policies shape the lives of Latin American women who seek safety in the United States. Carol Cleaveland and Michele Waslin describe the women's histories prior to crossing the border, and the legal strategies they use to convince Immigration Judges that rape and other forms of "private violence" should merit asylum - despite laws built on Cold War era assumptions that persecution occurs in the public sphere by state actors. Private Violence provides much-needed recommendations for incorporating a gender-based lens in the asylum process. The authors demonstrate how policy changes across Presidential administrations have made it difficult for survivors of "private violence" to qualify for asylum. Private Violence paints a damning portrait of America's broken asylum system. This volume illustrates the difficulties experienced by Latin American women who rely on this broken system for protection in the United States. It also illuminates women's resilience and the determination of immigration attorneys to reshape asylum law. Learn more about your ad choices.
