Bertha Heyman (1851-unknown) was a confidence queen who fleeced men out of thousands of dollars using her smarts and charisma – despite her unconventional looks. This month, we're talking about Mischief Makers:  oddballs, chameleons, and nonconformists. Queens of quick wit. 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 Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.

Legendary New York City police detective Thomas F. Byrnes once described Bertha Heyman as "one of the smartest confidence women in America." And she was considered among New York City police to be, “the boldest and most expert of the many female adventuresses who infested the country” at the close of the 19th century. Let's meet this so-called Confidence Queen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lindsay and Madison discuss con-artist Bertha Heyman, as well as how you can seemingly make it as long as you have “confidence,” that it's never okay to fat-shame someone (even if they're an asshole), and how you can find a new career even after a life of crime.

The fabulous Lauren Brickman joins us today to talk about a few classic conwomen, including Susanna Mildred Hill and Big Bertha Hayman. Honestly? We stan an old-school lady scammer. Big Bertha was a pickpocket and con artist who swindled her way throughout the nation and eventually was plucked from prison into fame with her own one-woman show. What a dream! Plus, hear about the TikTok scammer who’s allegedly running for president in 2024. We can’t even think that far ahead, tbh, but it’s a good scam!

Paul Scheer ("The League," "How Did This Get Made," "Unspooled," "The Disaster Artist") shares his amazing idea for a movie: The story of 19th century female con artist Bertha Heyman. Every week we pitch ideas that should be made into movies or TV shows. This week, we are awed and shamed at how much better Scheer is than us at the art of pitching imaginary movies.

Bertha Heyman loved to con people, and the more challenging the con, the more she loved it. She immigrated from Prussia in 1878, and then proceeded to take America (and Canada) by storm with a string of elaborate cons from coast to coast throughout the 1880s. She spent time in expensive hotels, draped in finery, and in prisons, where she plotted schemes from her cell. She might not have been strong in ethics, but she had moxie!

Leonard Borchardt was a side show performer who became known as "Oofty Goofty: The Wild Man of Borneo" In 1891, he met and fell in love with a fellow performer and con artist named Big Bertha Heyman.  The relationship did not go well. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
