Some have used that idea to their advantage, disappearing into new identities. For others, a disappearance was the end to their stories, but the beginning of a new chapter in their legacies. This month we're telling the stories of these women: we're talking about disappearing acts. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones and Abbey Delk.

In 1923, Barbara began her most extensive project yet – a complete novel. Finally, in 1926 – after many drafts and a house fire that destroyed one of them – she finished the book. She was only 12 years old. But Barbara's story had no ending. There was no final chapter because, to this day, no trace of her has ever been found.Check out our updated website and sign up for our newsletter at AmericanHauntingsPodcast.comWant an episode every week, plus other awesome perks and discounts?

You've probably heard stories about child prodigies, those remarkable children who show incredible aptitudes in art, music, science and mathematics at an early age. Well, once there lived a little girl named Barbara Newhall Follett, who published her first novel at age 12, and for a time became the darling of the literary world. But fame and critical acclaim at such an early age comes with a price, and one day when Barbara was 25 years old, she walked out of her apartment and was never seen again.

It's reported that nearly 600,000 people are reported missing every year. That's over 1,600 a day. While many of those reports end up cancelled, too many don't and in some cases those loved ones are never heard from again.  Curator #135 was reminded of a missing person's case in his hometown of Livonia, MI in 1994 involving a 4-year-old boy named D'Wan Sims. The case has never been solved and the boy, never found. This inspired him to look into cases where someone known, in the public eye, goes missing. Listen to the stories of Barbara Newhall Follett, Jim Sullivan and John Brisker. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/curator135)

Die junge Eepersip möchte nicht in einem Haus mit Türen, Fenstern und einem Dach leben. Ihr Herz verlangt nach dem Duft von Erde, nach dem Wind, der durch Baumkronen bläst, nach dem beständigen Summen und Brummen von Insekten. Sie läuft davon, um in der Wildnis zu leben - zuerst auf einer Waldwiese, dann am Meer, und schließlich in den Bergen. Ihre Eltern sind zutiefst betrübt. Sie folgen ihr, bringen sie zurück in die vermeintliche Sicherheit und sperren sie in der erdrückenden Stille des Hauses ein. Doch Eepersip lässt sich nicht aufhalten: Sie entkommt ein zweites Mal und folgt ihrem wilden Herzen nach draußen, ganz weit weg. Barbara Newhall Follet war ein amerikanisches Wunderkind. Geboren im Jahr 1914, veröffentlichte sie ihren ersten Roman, Die Welt ohne Fenster, mit zwölf Jahren. Er wurde ein Bestseller. Das nächste Buch folgte ein Jahr später. Kurz vor Weihnachten 1939 ist Newhall Follet fünfundzwanzig und Berichten zufolge unglücklich in ihrer Ehe. Mit dreißig Dollar in der Tasche verließ sie eines Abends das Haus und wurde nie wieder gesehen. Das Geheimnis um ihr Verschwinden ist bis heute nicht gelüftet. Als die englische Künstlerin und Illustratorin Jackie Morris das Buch wiederentdeckte, hat sie sich augenblicklich in die Geschichte verliebt. Sie regte die Wiederveröffentlichung an und gestaltete die liebevollen Bilder. Jackie Morris ist Autorin und Illustratorin. Sie studierte am Hereford College of Arts und an der Bath Academy. Sie hat eine Vielzahl von Büchern illustriert und einige selbst geschrieben. 2019 wurde "Die verlorenen Worte", in Zusammenarbeit mit Robert Macfarlane, mit der Kate Greenaway Medaille ausgezeichnet.

This week, Katy interviews debut author Laura Smith, and the two discuss the definition of wanderlust, why some people spend their lives perennially longing for new experiences, and how you can challenge the status quo for your own life. They also examine the dark side of wanderlust—does a yearning for "other" mean you are unsatisfied with your life? When does travel become escape? When you are constantly running away, what happens to the people you leave behind? In her debut work, The Art of Vanishing: A Memoir of Wanderlust, Smith uses the extraordinary life and mysterious disappearance of child prodigy and fellow wanderer Barbara Newhall Follett as a backdrop for her own raging wanderlust.

Barbara Newhall Follet was a child prodigy, banging out her first novel by the age of 9...accomplished enough to make the rest of us feel inadequate. But her adulthood was less than idyllic. And at the young old age of 25, she disappeared never to be seen again. In ep. 40, Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly explore this talented writer's life cut short. And we try out our new tagline: This is an adult conversation and may have some adult language so child prodigies beware.

"My book is about my search for Barbara Newhall Follett, the child prodigy and adventurer who vanished in 1939. But it’s also about my marriage and my quest for independence but also stability. And I think that a lot of things about Barbara’s life really resonated with me."

Everett Ruess and Barbara Newhall Follett were born in March 1914 at opposite ends of the U.S. Both followed distinctly unusual lives as they pursued a love of writing. And both disappeared in their 20s, leaving no trace of their whereabouts. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the brief lives of two promising young authors and the mystery that lingers behind them. We'll also patrol 10 Downing Street and puzzle over when a pigeon isn't a pigeon. Intro: In the 1890s, tree-sized corkscrews were unearthed in Nebraska. Pyrex vanishes when immersed in oil.
