Kerry Chaput on Women’s History, Female Empowerment, and Breaking Generational Cycles

Where are the women in history… and why were their stories erased?

In this episode of The Feisty Heroine Podcast, I sit down with historical fiction author and women’s history advocate Kerry Chaput, creator of Badass Women in History, to uncover the truth about the women history forgot.

We dive into how historical narratives shaped the way women see themselves today, from relationships to self-worth, and why strong, independent women have always challenged the status quo.

This conversation isn’t just about the past.
It’s about what happens when women stop waiting for permission and start choosing themselves.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

Forgotten women in history and why their stories were erased
How history impacts modern relationships and identity
Breaking toxic cycles and reclaiming your voice
Why powerful women are still seen as a threat
Choosing yourself instead of waiting to be chosen

Kerry Chaput is the author of The Secret Courtesan and founder of Badass Women in History, where she brings hidden female stories back into the spotlight. You can find her work here:
