This week we explore the fascinating stories and brilliant work of three exceptional plantswomen. Only recently has pioneering 18th-century herbalist Elizabeth Blackwell received proper recognition for her work A Curious Herbal – a beautifully illustrated botanical text that was, for centuries, mistakenly attributed to her scandal-prone husband! Fiona Davison, Head of RHS Libraries & Exhibitions, shares insights into Blackwell's life and her groundbreaking work, which was created at a time of rapid botanical discovery in Europe as exotic plants flooded into the Western world. We also hear from passionate plantswoman Jane Steward, a dedicated advocate for the medlar, a rare fruit that was once beloved across the UK – even by King Henry VIII. And finally horticulturist Sarah Wilson-Frost from RHS Garden Hyde Hall will be sharing some excellent advice on growing ornamental grasses to add year-round interest to your garden.

Becoming the first licensed woman physician in America was tough, convincing male surgeons to wash their hands between patients was even tougher. In this classic episode Josh and Chuck pay tribute to a genuine pioneer in medicine and society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is episode 175 - and we're back in the Cape circa 1849 and thereabouts. Before we dive into the latest incidents and events, let's take a look at what was going on globally as everything is connected. In France, citizens are able to use postage stamps for the very first time, a series called Ceres, which is also a place in the Western Cape. The Austrian Army invades Hungary entering the countries two capitals, which back in 1849 were called Buda and Pest. Next door, Romanian paramilitaries laid into Hungarian civilians, killing 600 in what we'd call ethnic cleansing. The second Anglo-Sikh war was on the go in India, and the British suffered a defeat at the Battle of Tooele, while across the ocean in Canada, the Colony of Vancouver Island was established. This is important because that's where one of my ancestors eloped later in the 19th Century for the metropolis that was Beaufort West. Elizabeth Blackwell was awarded her M.D, thus becoming the first women doctor in the United States, and the Corn Laws were officially repealed by the UK Parliament. These were tariffs and trade resctrictions on imported food — including all grains like Barley, wheat and oats. I mention this because the repeal spelled the death knell to British mercantilism — skewing the value of land in the UK, raised food prices there artificially, and hampered the growth of manufacturing. The Great Famine of Ireland between 1845 and 1852 had also revealed a real need to produce alternative food supplies through imports. It was this change that led to free trade finally being ushered into Britain — and of course this created opportunities for Southern African farmers. It's also the year the first Kennedy arrives in America, a refugee of the Irish Famine. More prosaic perhaps, in New York on a cold February day, President James Knox Polk became the first president to have his photograph taken, while Minnesota became a formal US territory and the settlement of Fort Worth in Texas is founded. In July, a slave revolt at the Charleston Workhouse breaks out led by Nicholas Kelly, but plantation owners manage to suppress the revolt and hang 3 of the leaders including Kelly. Later in September, African-American abolitionist and hero Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery. And importantly for our story, Sir Benjamin D'Urban, after whom Durban in KZN is named and one of the Governors of the Cape, died in Montreal, Canada. Back to the Cape, because the anger at Harry Smith's new policies were curing, nay, ripening, stewing, brewing amongst the amaXhosa. Arriving in the Eastern Cape, Harry was committed to reinstating the D'Urban system with which he had been associated - and which Lord Glenelg back in the colonial office has rejected. But now Earl Grey was in the colonial hot seat back home and he gave the thumbs up. Smith set to work sorting out the administration, appointing members of the settler elite to official positions including Richard Southey as his personal secretary. AS a close colleague of Grahamstown Journal Editor and rabid anti-Xhosa Robert Godlonton, he was chosen for his anti-black bias. If you remember how Smith had arrived, placing his foot on amaXhosa chief Maqoma's neck, and his new edicts including the creation of British Caffraria — the previously known ceded territory —you can imagine how he was regarded further east. What is not common knowledge these days is that there was great demand for children under the age of ten to work in the Western Cape. Of course, this was not a proper labour environment, and the shift meant that these young boys and girls, and their mothers and fathers, were being turned into indentured labourers. This was a free market situation of the amaXhosa being able to hawk their labour for a fair price. Many were told they would be paid a wage, only to find that the terms of contract were vague, they were now receiving unspecified promises and the fabric of rural life based on marriage and female

This week, authors Logan Steiner and Elizabeth Blackwell discuss writing historical fiction and Steiner's debut novel After Anne: A Novel of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Life. This conversation originally took place July 9, 2023 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME More about After Anne: A stunning and unexpected portrait of Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of one of literature's most prized heroines, whose personal demons were at odds with her most enduring legacy—the irrepressible Anne of Green Gables. “Dear old world,” she murmured, “you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” —L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908 As a young woman, Maud had dreams bigger than the whole of Prince Edward Island. Her exuberant spirit had always drawn frowns from her grandmother and their neighbors, but she knew she was meant to create, to capture and share the way she saw the world. And the young girl in Maud's mind became more and more persistent: Here is my story, she said. Here is how my name should be spelled—Anne with an “e.” But the day Maud writes the first lines of Anne of Green Gables, she gets a visit from the handsome new minister in town, and soon faces a decision: forge her own path as a spinster authoress, or live as a rural minister's wife, an existence she once likened to “a respectable form of slavery.” The choice she makes alters the course of her life. With a husband whose religious mania threatens their health and happiness at every turn, the secret darkness that Maud herself holds inside threatens to break through the persona she shows to the world, driving an ever-widening wedge between her public face and private self, and putting her on a path towards a heartbreaking end. LOGAN STEINER is a lawyer by day and a writer by baby bedtime. Her writing explores motherhood and the creative life. Logan's debut novel After Anne will be released on May 30, 2023 by HarperCollins. For fans of Anne of Green Gables and complex, creative women, the novel tells the life story of the author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Logan also writes a Substack newsletter called The Creative Sort. After graduating from Pomona College and Harvard Law School, Logan clerked for three federal judges, spent six years in Big Law, and served for three years as an Assistant United States Attorney. She now specializes in brief writing at a boutique law firm. Logan lives in Denver with her husband, daughter, and the cranky old man of the house, a Russian Blue cat named Taggart. ELIZABETH BLACKWELL is the author of While Beauty Slept, On a Cold Dark Sea, and Red Mistress. She graduated from Northwestern University with a double major in history and communications and later received a master's degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. She worked as a restaurant hostess, waitress, TV station receptionist, medical school secretary, magazine editor, and freelance writer before becoming a historical-fiction author–her favorite job so far. Elizabeth lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three children, an impressive collection of long underwear, and an ever-growing stack of must-read books.

The first to earn a medical degree in the United States, Elizabeth Blackwell broke barriers and carved a path for others to follow. Graduating at the top of her class, Blackwell would fight to create a medical practice and would spend her life championing medical education for other women. So just who was Elizabeth Blackwell?

Interview with Janice Nimura, biographer of Elizabeth Blackwell

Historiquement Vôtre réunit 3 dames seules contre tous : la reine de France Isabeau de Bavière seule contre tous, et contre toutes les critiques surtout : “mauvaise reine, mauvaise épouse, mauvaise mère”. Rien n'a été épargné à cette reine à la légende noire, esseulée en pleine guerre de Cent Ans. Puis, elle a été seule contre tous, contre tous les hommes qui étudiaient dans la faculté de Médecine dans laquelle ils l'ont autorisée à entrer : l'américaine Elizabeth Blackwell devenue la première femme médecin aux Etats-Unis. Et une lanceuse d'alerte, militante écologiste de la première heure qui s'est battue seule contre de grandes entreprises américaines qu'elle accusait de pollution, et qui a aussi permis à l'actrice Julia Roberts d'avoir un Oscar : Erin Brochovich.

Stéphane Bern, entouré de ses chroniqueurs historiquement drôles et parfaitement informés, s'amuse avec l'Histoire – la grande, la petite, la moyenne… - et retrace les destins extraordinaires de personnalités qui n'auraient jamais pu se croiser, pour deux heures où le savoir et l'humour avancent main dans la main. Aujourd'hui, Elizabeth Blackwell.

It's a ramble full of updates! Naz follows up last week's Unique Occupational Series by asking Lauren and Ashley what job they would have had if they lived in a different era. Naz thinks she'd be a cowgirl. Lauren isn't totally sure. Milkmaid. Witch. No matter what, it would probably involve a corset. Ashley might have been a midwife, or maybe even a doctor like one of her favorite historical figures, Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. Ashley provides a thrilling update to the ongoing saga that is Nannygate. Naz tells us about her incredibly profound session with Peter Crone "The Mind Architect" who gave her a "loving kick in the ass." Lauren closes the show out with an update about her most recent family trip to Nantucket and stirs up memories of "Birth Control Beach" and Naz eating spaghetti in the sand.
