Think You Know Women’s History? Think Again. | A Conversation with Author Kaia Alderson

What happens when forgotten history meets unforgettable storytelling?

On this episode of Conversations with Daisy Jones, bestselling author Kaia Alderson joins the show to discuss her acclaimed historical novels, Sisters in Arms and A League of Her Own. Inspired by the true story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion and the extraordinary life of baseball pioneer Effa Manley, Kaia shares how meticulous research and compelling storytelling bring overlooked chapters of American history to life.

We explore the responsibility of writing historical fiction, the emotional connection readers develop with her characters, and why preserving these stories matters for future generations.

After our interview, I immediately picked up A League of Her Own. Having now read both novels, I can honestly say they are emotional, sensory experiences that stay with you long after the final page.

Whether you’re a fan of historical fiction, fascinated by hidden history, or simply love hearing from exceptional authors, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
