Storyteller Leslie Zemeckis talks with Josh Molina about her award-winning, women-centered films that tell the lost stories of powerful women in history. Her most recent documentary Grandes Horizontales tells the story of mid-1805s courtesans who accumulated wealth, power and property by breaking the rules, when women could now marry or work outside of their class. From her website lesliezemeckis.com: "It isn't for us to judge their choices but to reveal the answers behind the why and the what about these free-spirited, determined women that inspired decades of artists who tried to capture their likeness, their essence, their appeal." She also talks about her body of work, including "Bound by Flesh" about conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, and the award-winning "Mabel, Mabel, Tiger Trainer" about the first female tiger trainer, Mabel Stark, Zemeckis explains why she was called to tell the stories of women and the lessons we can learn from powerful women in the past. She also teaches writing and storytelling and recently returned to a full-time schedule at Santa Barbara City College. Joshua Molina is an award-winning journalist who creates compelling conversations with dynamic individuals on the topics of housing, education, culture, art, politics and so much more.

Our Mickey loves her some Mabel Stark, so when she heard about Tiger Lady, a new play from Dead Rabbits Theatre Company, she got straight on the Zoom with Natisha Williams-Samuels and Kasia Zaremba-Byrne, star and writer/director respectively of the new show about Mabel's incredible life. Hannah's been chatting to author Rebecca Wait about her latest book I'm Sorry You Feel That Way, mother/daughter disasters and why we put too much pressure on youngsters to have "the time of their life" at university. And in the Bush Telegraph, we're talking about the Labour Party, monkeypox and, sorrywhatnow, England are European Champions? Yeah, they bloody are!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join S.B. Pearce as she explores the life and times of Mary Ann Haney, a Caldwell County woman who rose to international fame in the 1920s during the heyday of circus entertainment. Mabel Stark was her stage name and she was the ultimate master and trainer of the Sumatran tiger. She was also the first woman to receive top billing and superstar status as a wild animal trainer.

Today on our show we'll learn about Mabel Stark, one of the first female animal trainers. She was active for over sixty years and survived eighteen maulings during her career. In fact, it is notable that she lived through so many attacks considering the depth of her wounds—and the fact that penicillin was not commonly available until the late 1930s. During the 1920's she moved from circus to circus and husband to husband, avoiding the jaws of the Big Cats and possibly fate itself. But her love of big cats proved to be her ultimate undoing.

The riveting conclusion to Mabel Stark's incredible story. We continue our journey with the infamous Tiger Queen of the circus and her increasing number of husbands and tiger attacks. Mabel gets a taste for Hollywood, rubs elbows with Mae West and discovers a magical place called Jungle Land!

Tiger King move OVER!! Mabel Stark can surely be labeled the Tiger Queen. As the first female headlining a Big Cat act in a U.S. circus, Mabel paved the way for so many female trainers that followed. Small in stature, but tough as nails, and a voice that could arguably shatter glass. Join us while we explore Mabel's rise to stardom as she does all she can, and we mean ALL, to leave her past behind and get close to the tigers.

Top Take-a-ways: Story is powerful. Use your voice to lift others by sharing their story! When women support each other, we change the world. It’s never too late to revive the untold stories of the past.   The power of social media is undeniable because of the way it allows us all to tell our story.
