Melissa tells the story of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a 17th century poet, scholar, and nun who's considered to be the first published feminist of the New World. Andee tells the fascinating story of Lorena Ramírez, the 26-year old "light-footed woman" who runs ultramarathons in her traditional Rarámuri skirt and huaraches sandals.Are you a fan of the podcast and looking for ways to support the show?
