Heroine City

Heroine City is a bi-weekly podcast championing women in history. Placing women back into the history books with historian guests, our host, Lynsey Shaw is on a mission to shine a light on fascinating underrepresented narratives and revisit those deserving a fresh look. Research and scholarly work underpin the discussion of women's stories that demand to be told. They and YOU are the bricks that build Heroine City.
