We're back with Season Eight of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast!  In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire brings us the story of Boudica, an ancient British queen who fought the Romans. Though she led her Iceni tribe in a rebellion, the Romans prevailed, but wrote a fair bit about her in the history books.  In her afterlife, Boudica became a mascot for the suffragettes but also co-opted as a symbol for all things British; also, Enya wrote a song about her.  DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer/host Susan Stone to set the stage.   Get more info on Boudica in our episode notes: https://deadladiesshow.com/2025/3/xx/podcast-79-boudica/ For more on the Boudica-inspired perfume Susan mentioned, look here:   https://www.boudiccawode.com/ Dead Ladies NYC has a show March 6 — find out more here on their newsletter: https://deadladiesshow.substack.com/ And in Berlin we are celebrating 10 years of DLS!

This podcast is based on that series. Because women's history is everyone's history. The Dead Ladies Show was founded by Florian Duijsens and Katy Derbyshire. The podcast is created, produced, edited, and presented by Susan Stone.

In this episode of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast, we hear a story that feels sadly relevant—a miscarriage of justice.  Anna Göldi was the last woman to be legally executed after being accused of witchcraft in Switzerland, in 1782;  just seven years before the French Revolution, and a century after witch trials were rampant in Europe (as well as infamously in Salem, Massachusetts). Anna came from a poor family, and worked as a maid in various households, but she was also an independent and freethinking woman. In 1781 she was looking after a young girl who allegedly began spitting up nails.  Her wealthy employers accused her of witchcraft, and she was tortured until she admitted being in league with the devil. Anna Göldi was sentenced to death by decapitation for poisoning, even though the girl had not died. Not until 2007 was her case reevaluated and her name cleared. There's now a museum, several podcasts, films and books that cover Anna's life and story. DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire tells it for us, and host/producer Susan Stone and our other co-founder Florian Duijsens come along to set things up.  For more information on Anna Göldi please visit our show notes page here:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2024/11/14/podcast-77-anna-goldi We have a live show coming up November 20 in Berlin, our last of the year!

In this episode, Rachel Pronger of the Invisible Women film collective brings us the story of iconoclastic Czech film multi-talent Ester Krumbachová. Ester was a screen writer, costume and stage designer, author, and film director. Her work was quirky, colorful, and political, lashing out at patriarchy and authoritarianism. She had a defining influence on Czech New Wave cinema, collaborating on more than twenty movies from the early 1960s on, including the delightful Daisies  and the perplexing Murdering the Devil. Her involvement in the satire A Report on the Party and Guests meant she was blacklisted from working in film by the Czechoslovakian communist party during much of the 1980s. She worked under pseudonyms, painted and made jewelry, returning to the film industry in the 1990s. DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to set the scene.  See some clips of Ester's work and get more info on our episode notes page Find out more about the Invisible Women film collective here Find out more about Rachel Pronger here For more about Ester, click here Want to see a Dead Ladies Show in person?

In this episode, we're live at PodFest Berlin! DLS co-founders Katy Derbyshire and Florian Duijsens do the introducing, while DLSP Producer Susan Stone tells us about the amazing life of Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the United States Congress (in 1968). Four years later, Shirley was the first Black person and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. She was known for her hard work on behalf of equal rights, introducing legislation that helped women and children, workers and the poor. Additionally, she was called one of the “best dressed women on Capitol Hill” for her sharp style.  Shirley's legendary campaign slogan was “Unbought and unbossed,” and she kept the philosophy throughout her long political career. Shirley never wanted to be remembered as the “first” this or that, but as someone who fought for change and blazed a path for those like her in politics. Her legacy is undeniable.  Find out more about Shirley on our episode notes here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2024/09/19/podcast-75-shirley-chisholm/ Follow us on social media @deadladiesshow to keep up-to-date on all things DLS You can check out our Patreon and support us here: https://www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast Save the date for our next Berlin show, November 30th at Lettrétage.

In this episode we run off to New York to get a post-Olympic sports fix! Writer and editor Sheila Enright-- who is both a former track and field runner and co-host of Dead Ladies NYC--brings us the story of American gold medallist Wilma Rudolph. Born into a family of 22 children in segregated Tennessee, Wilma Rudolph was diagnosed with polio at a young age, and told she would never walk again. But her mother told her she would, and young Wilma decided not only would she walk, she would run! A skilled sprinter, she qualified for her first Olympics at the age of 16, bringing home a bronze medal as part of the relay team. She decided to go further, faster, and at the 1960 Olympics she set records and won 3 gold medals, being dubbed “The Fastest Woman on Earth.”  During and after her athletic career, Wilma Rudolph used her celebrity to further important causes, from desegregation to sports education for children.   Find out more about Wilma Rudolph on our episode notes here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2024/08/16/podcast-74-wilma-rudolph/ Hear our episode about Dutch gold medal runner Fanny Blankers-Koen here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2017/10/26/podcast-2-fanny-blankers-koen/ Follow us on social media @deadladiesshow to keep up-to-date on all things DLS And find Dead Ladies NYC on Instagram here: @deadladiesnyc You can check out our Patreon and support us here: https://www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast Our upcoming show September 14th at 4pm at PodFest Berlin will have tickets available soon.

In this episode of our podcast, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire brings us the story of  Therese Giehse, a German actor, pacifist and exile known for founding an anti-Nazi cabaret (which, really, we could all get behind these days). Therese had artistic and other adventures with her lover Erika Mann (daughter of Thomas Mann), was photographed by Annemarie Schwarzenbach, and embodied several of Bertolt Brecht's best-known characters on stage. She also acted in movies with Vivien Leigh and previous DLS star Romy Schneider.   Born in Munich in 1898, she went against her liberal Jewish family's expectations to train as an actor, cast as older characters even as a young woman. The Pfeffermühle cabaret started up in 1933, swiftly moving to Zürich to escape the Nazis. With Erika and Klaus Mann, Giehse toured the political show around Europe, never mentioning any names but using parables and storytelling to rip the piss out of Hitler and his henchmen.    Therese returned to Zürich in 1937, where she joined the outstanding cast at the Schauspielhaus theatre, many of them also emigrants like her. During the war, she performed in the premiere staging of Brecht's anti-war play Mother Courage, defining the title role in what some directors have called the greatest play of the 20th century.    She went on working with Brecht and other key playwrights and directors after 1945, in Munich, Zürich and East Berlin. Therese Giehse maintained her pacifist stance throughout her life, criticizing the Vietnam War at public events. She died in 1975 and is buried with her sister in Zürich.   For more on Therese Giehse, please visit our episode notes at  https://deadladiesshow.com/2024/07/19/podcast-73-therese-giehse   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing   Check out our Patreon here: www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast   Thanks for listening!

In this episode, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to Dame Miriam Rothschild, a British zoologist, entomologist, and botanist. Coming from a wealthy family (yes, those Rothschilds) with an active interest in nature, she started collecting ladybirds and caterpillars and taking a tame quail to bed with her at the age of four. During a stint of WWII codebreaking at Bletchley Park, she pressured the British government to take in more Jewish refugees, providing housing for 49 children in her own (stately) home. She then became a leading authority on fleas, with sidelines in other parasites, butterflies, and meadow restoration. DLS co-host Katy Derbyshire joins producer Susan Stone to kick off the fun.  For pictures of Dame Miriam and some of her many natural obsessions, hop (like a flea) on over to https://deadladiesshow.com/2024/06/15/podcast-72-miriam-rothschild.  You can also flock like a starling to our newsletter to find out when our next live show will be by clicking this link: https://deadladiesshowberlin.beehiiv.com/ If you are in New York, you can see a Dead Ladies Show July 17 and September 25 at the KGB Bar's Red Room.

In this episode, we take a jaunt to New York to find out about the talented and difficult Patricia Highsmith. You might know one of her most notorious characters, Tom Ripley, from your Netflix queue (the new series Ripley) or via one of the many films based on what might be Highsmith's best-known novel, The Talented Mr. Ripley. Highsmith wrote several books that redefined the concept of the thriller, as well as one of the few stories to give a lesbian couple a happy ending.  That novel, The Price of Salt, was adapted into the 2015 film Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.  It was inspired by one of Highsmith's many obsessive relationships (or in this case, just an obsession) with women. Long a closeted lesbian, Highsmith was engaged to a man (as required by 1950s societal mores) yet aggressively seduced lady after lady.  She also wrote obsessively, was highly ambitious, and kept thousands of pages of diaries written in various languages to avoid spilling her secrets (they have been translated since her death in 1995). She was misanthropic and bigoted, and even her friends considered her unpleasant to be around, but her psychological thrillers have remained classics, partly for how they provide insight into the mind of the criminal.  The talk by writer and educator Hannah Meyer comes courtesy of our friends at Dead Ladies NYC. DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens was there for the event in NYC, and he joins producer/host Susan Stone to help introduce the episode.

A lover of jazz and blues, she inspired hundreds of “wayward boys” to become professional musicians, including future Skatalites Tommy McCook and Don Drummond, trombonist Rico Rodriguez and Leslie Thompson, the first black conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra.

In this episode, the last of Season Six, we bring you a show live from PodFest Berlin! DLS-ers Susan Stone and Katy Derbyshire joined the city's fine and friendly podcasters at the yearly event in front of a small but perfectly formed audience.    From that event, producer Susan brings us the fascinating story of June Tarpé Mills, a comics pioneer and the first woman to create a female superhero, Miss Fury. The alter ego of socialite Marla Drake, Miss Fury wore a cursed black leopard skin and travelled the world fighting evil (mostly Nazis). She was sexy and smart, and a global hit from 1941-1951, during which she appeared in 100 newspapers, millions of comic books, and on the side of several US bombers.  Then she, like her creator, largely disappeared. Decades after her death in obscurity, Mills is finally getting the recognition she deserves, from a headstone for her unmarked grave to induction into the Comic Industry Hall of Fame.    You'll definitely want to check out Miss Fury and June Tarpé Mills' other works, and you can find some great examples, plus images of the lovely June herself over on our website at https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/10/22/podcast-68-june-tarpe-mills/   We mentioned our wonderful friend Andy Horn, who introduced us to Tarpé Mills.

The Dead Ladies Show was founded by Florian Duijsens and Katy Derbyshire.The podcast is created, produced, edited, and presented by Susan Stone.  

In this episode, we encounter the show's very first featured geographer.  UK-born Doreen Massey was a pioneer in her field. She challenged existing ideas about space, place and power, was compassionate, politically active, and hopeful.   She worked in academia and as a public intellectual, including at British early-morning TV fans' beloved Open University – teaching students who didn't have access to a traditional university education – and also in Nicaragua, Venezuela and South Africa. That work focused on economic geography and the geography of gender, and she spoke eloquently about place or space as “a pincushion of a million stories”. Her list of publications vies in length with her honors and awards – including a pretty impressive total of six honorary degrees.  Our talk is presented by Agata Lisiak, a professor of Migration Studies at Bard College Berlin, and a DLS regular, who has previously talked about Marie Curie and Rosa Luxemburg.  DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce the episode, and talk a bit about the Open University, an important place for Doreen Massey and many others.  You can find Agata's podcast series on Doreen Massey, Spatial Delight, where ever you like to listen, and also here, where there are additional features: https://thesociologicalreview.org/podcasts/spatial-delight/ Photos and clips of Massey can also be found on our podcast episode page here:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/08/17/podcast-66-doreen-massey To get tickets for our upcoming PodFest Berlin event in October just click here: https://www.podfestberlin.com/event-details/dead-ladies-show-Oct2023-special Sign up for the Dead Ladies Show newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/deadladiesshow  and find us on social media @deadladiesshow and @deadladiesshow.bsky.social For DLS NYC info and tickets, sign up to their newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/DeadLadiesShowNYC or follow them on Instagram @deadladiesnyc Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing Find our Patreon page here:  www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast The TeePublic shop for DLS logo treats is here: https://www.teepublic.com/user/dead-ladies-show Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we bring you the story of an actress whose off-screen life was as dramatic and tragic as many of the characters she portrayed. Born in Vienna in 1938, Romy Schneider was said to have the star power of Greta Garbo or Marilyn Monroe.  She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Sissi, aka Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who she embodied in four films (some of which are still shown at holiday time every year in countries from the Netherlands to China). But though she strove to move past this very nationalistic role to play more realistic and naturalistic characters, to her chagrin she was remembered by some her whole life as “Sissi.” A great beauty and talent, Romy was much beloved by the public for her performances, yet hounded by the press over her personal life.  Our story comes from DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens, a writer, translator and educator, and devotee of tragic glamour.  Our other DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce things, and comment on the crossover with our last episode, which featured another German-speaking screen icon, the problematic Hildegard Knef.   For more on Romy Schneider, please visit our episode notes at:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/07/13/podcast-65-romy-schneider/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing Check out our Patreon here: www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast And browse our TeePublic shop at this link: https://www.teepublic.com/user/dead-ladies-show Thanks for listening!

  In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire has the story of a deutsche Diva — an iconic German actress and singer and best-selling author known for her glamour and scandal, her smoky voice and sweeping false eyelashes. Hildegard Knef was also an unreliable narrator and a serial fabulator who was alternately loved and hated in her homeland.   Producer/host Susan Stone is joined by other DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens to introduce our featured Dead Lady.   To see Hildegard in all her eye-lashed glory, and hear some of her vocal stylings, visit our show notes: https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/06/15/podcast-64-hildegard-knef   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Want to suggest a Dead Lady for us?  Drop us a line to info@deadladiesshow.com or tell us on social media @deadladiesshow   You can find our DLS logo merch at Teepublic here: http://tee.pub/lic/43ac26BhRl8   And our Patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/deadladiesshowpodcast   Thanks for listening!

In this episode, translator Laura Radosh introduces us to the fascinating and troubled writer Djuna Barnes.  The journalist, novelist, and artist mixed with everyone from James Joyce to Peggy Guggenheim, and was at the center of Bohemian life in 1920s New York and Paris, though perhaps not quite as much as she would like. Best known (if at all) for her modernist novel “Nightwood,” Djuna once called herself  ''the most famous unknown in the world.''  DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer/host Susan Stone to muse about Djuna and her circle of modernist Dead Ladies.  Find out more about Djuna and her work, and see her polka-dot portrait here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/05/11/podcast-63-djuna-barnes Djuna Barnes intersects with a great number of our previously presented Dead Ladies, including: photographer Berenice Abbott (who took the above mentioned portrait): https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/01/20/podcast-59-berenice-abbott/ and  dadaist Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/10/16/podcast-47-elsa-von-freytag-loringhoven/ Here's the documentary Laura cited where you can see Natalie Barney's Parisian home and garden with its Temple of Friendship: https://youtu.be/ihzoLrUkNoc The documentary we mentioned is “Paris Was a Woman” by Greta Schiller  https://jezebelproductions.org/paris-was-a-woman/ And Will Self's radio segment on “Nightwood” can be found here: https://youtu.be/5cy3-uOTTfE Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

Our story for this episode comes from our friends at the Dead Ladies Show NYC, which is organized and hosted by Molly O'Laughlin Kemper with Sheila Enright.  Photographer, professional eccentric and guinea pig lover JR Pepper tells the tale of artist Leonor Fini, a glamorous, passionate iconoclast (and cat lover) with a brilliant creative mind who was fiercely independent — at a time when women were allowed to be muses, not painters. Fini is often called a Surrealist, but she didn't consider herself one of their group due to their misogynistic attitudes, which included viewing women as either a childlike muse or femme fatale. Her paintings utilized the female gaze, and often featured catlike and other creatures inspired by Fini's own appearance, accompanied by languid men. Leonor Fini's life was as rule-breaking as her art; she had many lovers, and spent much of her life living in a happy throuple — along with about 20 cats.  DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce this episode's featured Dead Lady.  For more on Leonor Fini, please visit our episode notes at:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/04/13/podcast-62-leonor-fini/ For DLS NYC info and tickets, sign up to their newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/DeadLadiesShowNYC or follow them on Instagram @deadladiesnyc Find JR Pepper on Instagram @girlduality  and listen to her talk about Mae West here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/08/17/podcast-56-mae-west/ Our episode on surrealist Leonora Carrington is here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2018/01/25/podcast-5-leonora-carrington/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing Thanks for listening!

Dead Ladies Show Podcast  Episode 60 - Emmy Noether   For our 60th episode, we bring back the presenter who appeared in our very first podcast episode, writer and translator Karen Margolis. Drawing from her own history in higher mathematics, Karen ably tells the tale of Germany's Emmy Noether, who developed key theorems in theoretical physics and made important contributions to abstract algebra. Excluded from academic positions in Germany as a woman, she worked unpaid and under other lecturers' names. Once she was finally allowed to teach in 1919, she had only 14 years until the Nazis banned her as a Jew. In American exile, she taught at the women's college Bryn Mawr and occasionally at Princeton, though she felt she was not welcome at “the men's university, where nothing female is admitted.”  Nowadays, everything from fellowships to a crater on the moon has honored Emmy, so it was clearly our turn to do so.    DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce things.    For more on Emmy Noether, please visit our episode notes at https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/03/16/podcast-60-emmy-noether/     For DLS NYC info and tickets, sign up to their newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/DeadLadiesShowNYC   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Tri-Tachyon/the-kleptotonic-ep/little-lily-swing   Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we're going to hear about woman who is sometimes called a sculptress of sound —  “the unsung heroine of British electronic music” —  Delia Derbyshire, ably presented by our very own DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire.     A working-class girl from Coventry, England, Delia studied music and mathematics, and went on to work at the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop. If you're a SciFi fan, you've probably heard one of her best known works — the otherworldly theme tune to the TV show Doctor Who. A true pioneer of pre-synthesizer electronic sounds, Delia created music for more than 200 projects, but remained anonymous due to the BBC's bureaucratic structures. She also set up studios making electronic music for soundtracks, festivals and theatre productions, until she left the public eye in 1975.    DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer Susan to set things up.    You can see some photos of Delia Derbyshire and hear more of her amazing work on our show notes page:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/02/16/podcast-59-Delia-Derbyshire   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Drop us a line info@deadladiesshow.com or reach us on social media @deadladiesshow   Thanks for listening!

Dead Ladies Show Podcast - Berenice Abbott   Welcome to our first podcast of 2023! In this episode, we zoom in on photographer Berenice Abbott. This American artist has a bit of a six-degrees-of separation going on with a number of our previous Dead Ladies, including Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven and Emma Goldman. As told by DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens, Berenice's story includes stints in Paris and Berlin, falling in love with eligible ladies, and learning photography from Man Ray. She took portraits of various greats, and when she returned to New York she switched to documenting the changing city, resulting in what's called the "the greatest collection of photographs of New York City ever made."Later in life she also excelled at scientific photography, taking with her studies of light and motion contributing to the understanding of physical laws and properties of solids and liquids, as she also made innovations in camera technology.    DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer Susan Stone to introduce our episode.    You can see Berenice and her art, and learn more about her decades of photography work on our episode notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2023/01/20/podcast-58-berenice-abbott/   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Drop us a line info@deadladiesshow.com or reach us on social media @deadladiesshow   Thanks for listening!

Episode 58 — Ruth Asawa  It's our final podcast of 2022! DLS co-founders Florian Duijsens and Katy Derbyshire join producer Susan Stone to toast the holiday season, chat about this year's good news in Dead Ladies, and to introduce our featured Dead Lady, artist Ruth Asawa.  Born to Japanese parents on a farm in California, Ruth Asawa first developed her artistic tendencies tracing shapes in the dirt. When her family was interned during World War II by the US government (along with thousands of US citizens with Japanese heritage, following the bombing of US military base Pearl Harbor by the Japanese) her life was put on hold, but she made opportunity where she could find it. When she was prevented from becoming a teacher by anti-Japanese prejudice and laws, she studied art and became a sculptor, often weaving cheap found material and wire. Her public artworks and her art education advocacy made her chosen home city, San Francisco, a more beautiful place, and her sculptures are now auctioned for millions, and exhibited around the world.  You can see wonderful pictures of Ruth and her art, and learn more about her on our episode notes page here:  deadladiesshow.com/podcast/2022/12/14/podcast-58-ruth-asawa  Her estate's website, a tremendous resource, can be found at https://ruthasawa.com/ We also mentioned the podcast Spatial Delight about geographer Doreen Massey, which is edited by Susan and hosted and produced by 2-time DLS Podcast star Agata Lisiak.

To kick off Season 6 of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast, writer Leon Craig brings us the story of award-winning English author Angela Carter. Known for her feminist, gothic and erotic sensibilities and re-inventing folk and fairy tales for her now seminal collection The Bloody Chamber, Carter's life had quite a few plot twists of its own. In her 51 years she wrote nine novels, five short story collections, several children's books and countless essays and articles. She also collected quite a few lovers after awakening from stifling marriage, harvesting them first from her social circle and friends' husbands, then later more randomly during her two years living in Japan. Shortly after her death from cancer, Angela Carter received a strong wave of recognition, and her writing is now taught to generations of British school kids.   Our presenter Leon Craig has received more than a few comparisons to Carter for her own debut story collection, Parallel Hells which is now out in paperback from Sceptre Books. You can read Leon's story 'Lick the Dust' from that collection, which was selected for Best British Short Stories 2022 at the White Review here:  DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce the episode and talk more about writers Carter and Craig.

Episode 56 - Mae West   Courtesy of our pals at DLS NYC, we meet the first meta sex symbol: Mae West. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY  Mae was brazen, buxom, bawdy, sensational and sexy. She was known for her husky voice, risqué performances, and double entendres that slipped past the film censors. With over 70 years in show business on both the stage and screen, she scandalized the world of entertainment in a time when women were expected to sit on the sidelines. But, as Mae West would tell you, "goodness had nothing to do with it.”   DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer Susan Stone to introduce our featured Dead Lady.    Artist, lecturer, researcher, and self-described 'professional eccentric' JR Pepper tells Mae's story; you can find out more about JR here: https://www.pepperart.com   Find our more about Mae and see some scandalous pix on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/08/17/podcast-56-mae-west/   DLS NYC is curated and hosted by Molly O'Laughlin Kemper, and was recorded by Jennifer Nulsen, all under the auspices of the KGB Bar's Lori Schwarz.   If you're in the NY area, why not sign up for their newsletter so you can find out when the next show will be?

This episode was recorded at the second-ever PodFest Berlin, a local two-day event full of workshops, networking, free ice cream, and live tapings from podcasts in various languages, including one from us.    Dead Ladies Show co-founder Katy Derbyshire and podcast producer/host Susan Stone were there for a mini DLS, and took turns hosting and presenting bilingually in German and English in front of a small but perfectly formed audience.    In this episode, we hear Susan tell the story of Virginia Andrews. Better known as V.C. Andrews, this blockbusting American author probably launched the sexual curiosities of generations of teens and pre-teens — for better or worse. Her psychological horror/romance books, starting with 1979's best-selling Flowers in the Attic, were banned in school districts and libraries, but earned millions internationally. The tale of children held captive by an evil grandmother was sadly somewhat mirrored in Virginia's own reclusive, highly controlled life.    Though she was disabled by a medical condition from her teen years on, Virginia supported her family through her artwork and writing. After her death, a prolific ghostwriter was appointed to continue books under her name, but her legacy really endures on the strength of her original seven bestsellers, which merged classic fairy tale themes with contemporary issues of trauma and abuse.     Find out more about Virginia Andrews and her work on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/07/23/podcast-55-virginia-andrews/   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 54 - Memphis Minnie   In this episode, we drop in on our New York-based sister spinoff show, DLS NYC, which returned to the KGB Bar's Red Room after a long hiatus. DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens happened to be visiting from Berlin, and took to the stage to introduce the fabulous Memphis Minnie.    Tobacco-chewing blues singer MEMPHIS MINNIE (1897–1973) ran away from home at the age of 13 and made a living off music from then on, from street performances to hundreds of now classic recordings. It was said she never put her guitar down until she could no longer hold it in her hands, and she was known to use it as a weapon when required. Her songs were about the joys and hardships of everyday Black life; according to the poet Langston Hughes, she played “music with so much in it folks remember, that sometimes it makes them holler out loud.” Largely forgotten for many years while white men covered her songs, she is now celebrated for her huge contribution to blues music and what came after.    DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone for the introducing duties, and to flag up some of our upcoming shows, at Muenster's Center for Literature's Droste Festival on June 18: https://www.burg-huelshoff.de/en/programm/kalender/droste-festival-2022   And at Podfest Berlin July 16-17: https://www.podfestberlin.com   Listen along to all of Florian's favorites with our Memphis Minnie playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2WSTvaocIKcJCGNGKtVDrh?si=d356b954c66245fd    And see photos of the well-dressed Minnie and get more info on our episode notes page: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/06/16/podcast-54-memphis-minnie/   DLS NYC is curated and hosted by Molly O'Laughlin Kemper, and was recorded by Jennifer Nulsen, all under the auspices of the KGB Bar's Lori Schwarz.    If you're in the NY area, why not sign up for their newsletter so you can find out when the next show will be?

Episode 53 - Eva Crane   In this buzz-worthy episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire (and translator) brings us the story of leading bee scientist Eva Crane. Born to humble beginnings, Eva obtained a PhD in nuclear physics but quickly shifted her attention from atoms to apiculture. She travelled the world to document all things bees, and was particularly interested in the relationship between bees and humans, including the long history of human honey cultivation.   Amateur bee enthusiast (and producer/host) Susan Stone is joined by other DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens for the introducing honors.    For more on Eva Crane and her legacy, a visit to the Eva Crane trust is a must: https://www.evacranetrust.org   And we have a delightful array of bee-related images and links (and a transcript of this episode) on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/05/12/podcast-53-eva-crane/   Thumbnail photo of Eva Crane credit: International Bee Research Association    Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 52 - Katherine Mansfield   In this episode we'll be hearing from the multi-talented Hinemoana Baker. Hinemoana hails from New Zealand, she is a writer and musician of Māori and Pākehā heritage; she will be presenting her reflections on the life of another New Zealand writer — Katherine Mansfield. Mansfield was a very influential modernist writer, who left New Zealand for Europe at the age of 19, and hung out with Virginia Woolf, DH Lawrence, and the Bloomsbury Group gang, including her “wife,” writer Ida Baker. Mansfield is called by some the Godmother of the Short Story in the English language, and she wrote a great many in her tragically short life.  DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce an episode full of personal reflections, music, and poetry.     Find our more about Katherine Mansfield on our episode notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/04/13/podcast-52-katherine-mansfield/   And you can read many of her short stories at the website of the Katherine Mansfield Society here: https://katherinemansfieldsociety.org/katherine-mansfield-resources/stories/   Learn more about the Mansfield album here: https://www.katherinemansfield.com/product/mansfield-album   Explore the work of presenter Hinemoana Baker here: http://www.hinemoana.co.nz For more New Zealand Dead Ladies, check out our Episode 19 recorded at at a literary festival in Wellington, NZ: https://deadladiesshow.com/2019/01/17/podcast-19-constance-barnicoat-and-irihapeti-ramsden/   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 50 - Adelaide Herrmann In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire conjures up a Victorian-era Dead Lady magician who dazzled audiences and broke boundaries. Starting from her childhood in England, Adelaide Herrmann (née Scarcez) was a born performer, first notable for dance, acrobatics, and trick cycling. She met and married magician Alexander Herrmann, and became his on-stage assistant and the star of many of his illusions, first dressed as his double and later in many guises. Following his death, she eventually took over the act, becoming the Queen of Magic, and collecting a menagerie of animals for her show. Highly successful, she toured for 25 years, performing up to the age of 74. She was buried next to her husband. His headstone reads: HERRMANN THE GREAT.

We kick off 2022 with an episode devoted to a woman famed for her wit and beauty, and later for her status as a sort of early inoculation influencer. Her tale is told by DLS co-founder and devoted traveler, Florian Duijsens.   English aristocrat Lady Mary Wortley Montagu was raised to keep her opinions to herself, be it at home or in the King's court, but she travelled widely, published secretly, and convinced many to take important steps that saved lives. When her husband became ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in 1716, she accompanied him to Constantinople. Gaining access to female spaces in Turkey, she witnessed smallpox inoculations there and had her son immunized in the same way, using a small sample of the live virus that had killed her brother and caused severe scarring to her own face. The principle was adapted into what we now know as vaccination. Lady Mary later left her husband behind in England after falling for an Italian count, only returning after she was widowed. She wrote poetry, essays, and copious letters, many of which were published after her death, encouraging other ladies to travel as she had done.   DLS other co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer Susan Stone to introduce the featured Dead Lady.    Find our more about Lady Mary Wortley Montagu on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2022/01/19/podcast-49-lady-mary-wortley-montagu/   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 48 - Zaha Hadid    In our last episode of 2021, The DLS team of Susan Stone, Katy Derbyshire, and Florian Duijsens all come together to clink glasses of bubbly, and discuss our favorite Dead Lady news of the year.    Plus, DLS Producer and journalist Susan Stone presents our featured Dead Lady, architect Zaha Hadid.  Born in Baghdad, Zaha started her creative life early, designing her own clothes and furniture at the age of 7 or 8.  She studied at, then taught at, the Architectural Association School in London, where she honed her boundary-breaking skills and unmatchable style.      Both life and her designs threw a series of curves her way, but she excelled and inspired, becoming the first woman to with the Pritzker Architecture Prize, considered the Nobel Prize for architecture, as well as many more accolades and contracts, eventually designing everything from schools to shoes. Along the way she faced notable sexism and racism as one of few women and Arabs in the field. But she wowed critics, and created some of the most incredible buildings the world has ever seen before her death at the age of 65 in 2016.    Find our more about Zaha Hadid on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/12/15/podcast-48-zaha-hadid/   Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 47 - Milena Jesenská   In this edition of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire brings you the story of Milena Jesenská live from the stage of the Berlin translation festival Translationale, held at the Collegium Hungaricum.    A journalist, writer, editor and translator, Milena Jesenská is often simply called “Kafka's Milena” for her connection to the famous writer. But her life and work deserve far more attention.    Born in Prague in the former Austria-Hungary, now Czech Republic, Milena Jesenská straddled cultures and languages, politics and ideologies. As part of an underground resistance, she helped many refugees to escape the dangers of National Socialism, but was captured by the Gestapo and died in a concentration camp in Germany.    Find our more about Milena Jesenská on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/11/19/podcast-47-milena-jesenska/   Thanks to the Translationale, the Toledo Program, and Weltlesebühne for inviting us.    Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.   Thanks for listening!

**This episode contains brief mentions of suicide and suicide attempts, as well as some humorous profanity**   In this edition of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to the eccentric Dada artist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.  An eternally eclectic, German-born New Yorker, the Baroness was known for living life as a work of art, wearing a collage of found items, from tin cans to postage stamps to live birds, seducing almost everyone she met, and creating mind-blowing poetry and sculptures, and never making money for her art, leading to her poverty. These days, she deserves some reclaimed recognition for creating the found art genre known as Readymades, including a particular infamous sculpture credited to French artist Marcel Duchamp (or Marcel Dushit, as the Baroness called him). DLS other co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins producer/host Susan Stone to introduce the show, which was recorded in front of a live audience of enthusiastic college students as part of the Bard College Berlin event Pankumenta back in 2019.  Find our more about Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and see her art and self-fashioned fashions on our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/10/16/podcast-47-elsa-von-freytag-loringhoven/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

Episode 45: Nana Yaa Asantewaa We're back with Season 5 of the Dead Ladies Show Podcast! And we kick things off with a fierce leader, the legendary Nana Yaa Asantewaa, a West African queen who led a war against the British in pre-colonial times. The also impressive writer and activist Sharon Dodua Otoo presents her story from the courtyard stage at Berlin's ACUD as we celebrated an open-air return to live shows.  Sharon gives us historical and cultural context for the brave and wise leadership of the Asante ruler Nana Yaa Asantewaa, who was born in 1840, and was already a skilled farmer and mother before ascending to the title of Queen Mother in the 1880s. She defended the Asante treasure and emblem of power, the sacred Golden Stool, from the colonialist British governor, heading an army of 5,000 at the age of 60.

In this episode of the podcast, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire introduces us to daring German writer Irmgard Keun. As an ingenue, Irmgard's writing debut was much more consequent than her acting debut, and she garnered praise and a film adaptation. Her books explored women's lives in Weimar-era Berlin with a humor all her own, which of course meant the Nazis banned them. There's dark wit, wild parties in the face of danger, and fabulous costume changes — oh, and an unreliable narrator. It's a bit of Babylon Berlin meets Cabaret, perhaps.  Irmgard Keun is also one of the original Dead Ladies (along with Dorothy Parker) that sparked the creation of the Dead Ladies Show in the first place!  Our other DLS co-creator Florian Duijsens joins podcast producer and host Susan Stone for the introducing duties in our last episode of DLSP Season Four!

This episode we meet the intrepid Emily Hahn, an American writer and passionate traveller who wrote 54 books while reporting for the New Yorker.  As a young woman, she was the first woman to graduate in mining engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then donned men's clothes to travel across the US with friends. Wanderlust took her to the Belgian Congo, where she worked for the Red Cross, then on to Shanghai, and later Hong Kong where she reported, flirted, and partied for a decade. She returned to the US from occupied China in 1943 with a 2-year-old in tow along with a newly divorced British intelligence officer.   Hahn, known as Mickey to her friends, was legendary for her beauty and wit, and also for her pet monkeys.  To learn more about Emily Hahn and her adventures visit our episode page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/04/08/podcast-42-emily-hahn/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

In this episode, Anneke Lubkowitz introduces us to the brilliant and strange 19th century writer and poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff. This Dead Lady was a Lady in the literal sense - she was born into nobility, and the life her family expected for her was far different from the one she led. Choosing the male occupation of poet, and the unladylike hobby of fossil collecting, nature devotee Annette could often be found wandering the muddy moors or writing away in a turret. Her ahead-of-her-time way with verse included timeless poems and a work of gothic fiction considered by some to be one of the first murder mysteries.  Via Zoom from the bright green rooms of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff's former home Haus Ruschhaus, Anneke also reads some newly translated poems from Droste's collections.  This show was created in collaboration with StAnza, Scotland's International Poetry Festival, with help from the Burg Hülshoff Center for Literature. Thanks to both!

The star of our 40th (!) episode is author, educator, and therapist Beryl Gilroy. Born in what was then British Guiana, she trained as a teacher before migrating to London in 1952 as part of the Windrush generation and work all manner of jobs until becoming one of the very first Black head teachers in the UK. Her groundbreaking debut, Black Teacher (1976), documented her journey that that point, and she'd keep publishing all the way to her death in 2001. Telling her story is Berlin-based author Divya Ghelani.

Episode 39 introduces Gráinne Mhaol, also known as Grace O'Malley, the legendary Irish pirate queen.  Translator Laura Radosh presents the rollicking tale of this tremendous woman, who has been lauded as “a most famous femynyne sea captain,” and “the dark lady of Doona.” Gráinne Mhaol was head of the O'Malley dynasty in 16th-century Ireland, owning up to 1000 cattle and horses, leading men on land and sea, and allegedly wreaking cruel vengeance for the murder of a lover. When her sons and half-brother were captured by the English, is said to have met with Queen Elizabeth I and negotiated their release in Latin. DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins host/producer Susan Stone to hear about the pirate booty gained by this historic beauty.  Katy also tells us about the new DLS Bookshop stores where listeners can find all the Dead Lady books they've always wanted, while contributing to independent bookstores and a little bit to our show, too.  US: https://bookshop.org/shop/deadladiesshow UK: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/deadladiesshow To learn more about Gráinne Mhaol, visit our episode page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2021/01/16/podcast-39-grainne-mhaol-grace-omalley/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

In episode 38, we hear the sweet, sweet music of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, known as the godmother of rock'n'roll.  DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens brings us the tale of this legendary guitarist and gospel singer who had a profound influence on musicians like Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Aretha Franklin. She took to the stage at the age of four, and never really left it.  Sister Rosetta Tharpe made the first gospel record to hit the charts, played with Cab Calloway at the Cotton Club, attracted 25,000 paying customers to her third wedding, got in trouble with gospel purists and recorded a live album in Paris in 1964.   To start off the episode, Susan and Katy toast to the end of a strange year with the Dead Ladies Show signature tipple, affordable German bubbly Rotkäppchen (Red Riding Hood) and give thanks for the support we've had and that yet to come.    The presentation in this episode was recorded live with help from Brigitte Hamar at the Studiobühne der Universität Münster where we were invited by the Burg Hülshoff Center for Literature.

In Episode 37, Dead Ladies Show co-founder Katy Derbyshire introduces French spy, diplomat, and enigma, the Chevalière d'Éon.  Born Charles Geneviève Louise Auguste André Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont, the Chevalière d'Éon lived for 49 years as a man and spent the last 33 years of her life as a woman.  She claimed to have been assigned female at birth in 1728 Burgundy and raised as a boy, but her elderly roommate got quite a shock when she found that the dead body had male genitalia.  Having served as a spy to the French king, the Chevalière went into the military and then diplomacy, continuing her espionage for Louis XV from London. When the king died, d'Éon negotiated a return to France and legal recognition as a woman, then reluctantly assumed women's clothing, made for her by Marie Antoinette's personal dressmaker.  She earned a meagre living after the French Revolution by performing in English fencing tournaments, wrote an unreliable autobiography, developed her own theology of virtuous womanhood (Mary Wollstonecraft was a fan of hers) and died at the impressive age of 82. Our other DLS-co-founder Florian Duijsens joins host/producer Susan Stone to discuss how and if we should apply contemporary thinking about gender to people from the past.  To learn more, visit our episode page here:  https://deadladiesshow.com/2020/11/12/podcast-37-chevaliere-deon/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

Our 36th podcast episode brings you a glimpse of the acclaimed author of some of the most chilling tales in contemporary American literature, Shirley Jackson. Her short story “The Lottery” is a true classic since its publication in 1948. Shirley Jackson blended gothic and horror elements with explorations of women's alienation and search for identity. In her real life, she was forced to balance her tremendous talent with the everyday duties of a wife and mother and societal expectations of femininity, which she defied at almost every step.  Our presentation from Krista Ahlberg comes courtesy of Dead Ladies Show NYC, and was recorded live by Christopher Neil in the Red Room at New York's KGB Bar in 2019.  Dead Ladies Show co-founder Florian Duijsens joins podcast host/producer Susan Stone to discuss some of Shirley's stories and the films and series in the Shirley Jackson extended universe.  For all things Shirley, check out our episode page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2020/10/15/podcast-36-shirley-jackson/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.

It's Episode 35! On a sultry September evening, DLS Podcast producer and host Susan Stone took the stage to present the life and times of the unstoppable Ida B. Wells! This pioneering African-American investigative journalist, suffragist and activist was a pint-sized powerhouse. Born into slavery in Mississippi in 1862, Ida's world opened up with the Emancipation Proclamation, and she became a teacher, newspaper editor, and international lecturer, fighting injustice and racism all the way. Her hold-nothing-back editorials and books exposed and documented the horrific practice of lynching in the American South. On her steely path to justice, she accepted no compromises, making friends and enemies along the way.  DLS co-founders Katy Derbyshire and Florian Duisjens take up the introductions as we get back into the podcast swing of things after a summer break.    For more information and some lovely pictures, check out our show notes page here: https://deadladiesshow.com/2020/09/17/podcast-35-ida-b-wells/ Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.
