Gals Guide

Katie closes up Innovation Month with a gal who invented a new rocket fuel. Learn about Mary Sherman Morgan and how her invention of Hydyne helped launch the United States' first satellite. 

Bonnie continues Innovation Month (that's weird to type, normally Bonnie starts a month! ) with a rebel with a need for speed! Beatrice Shilling, also called Tilly, was an aerospace engineer and motorcycle racer. Learn about this British innovator who broke records and saved lives! 

Riwo starts off Innovation Month with a rebel with a board game. Learn about the actual inventor of the game Monopoly, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Magie. Her story and what she was trying to teach us is way more in-depth that you might have been led to believe.

Riwo finishes up Rebellious Creative Expression month with Yayoi Kusama, a rebel in polka dots. She’s been called “one of the most important artists to come out of Japan.”  She’s not only a polka dot pop artist but also a filmmaker, protestor, author, sculptor, and fashion designer. She hit on rebellious creative expression on so many fronts. 

It's Katie's turn to tell us about her pick for Rebellious Creative Expression month. Lee Miller was creative and rebellious in many ways. Lee was a war correspondent, photographer, and artist. She also took a rebellious picture of herself in Hitler's bathtub. 

Rebellious Creative Expression continues on the Gal's Guide Podcast. Josh talks about Françoise d'Eaubonne, the French author who coined the term ecofeminism. 

We're exploring Creative Expression within rebellion. Bonnie starts us off with the sculpture artist, Edmonia Lewis. Edmonia brought her African and Native American heritage to a neoclassical marble sculpture. Learn all about her incredible work.

Katie finishes Equality Month of our Rebel Era by talking about the young peace activist from the Young Women for Leadership (YWL). Learn about the Rima Sultana Rimu from Bangladesh.
