Episode 15 - Women Historians and Primary SourcesThis week, Brooke and Kelsie are talking about how rare women historians are and the first women historians: Ban Zhao of China who wrote during the Han empire and Anna Comnena who wrote in 11th century Byzantium. Both women provide incredible windows into life in their time. Then we talk about how oral histories and primary source accounts can be a great way to bring in women's voices in the absence of women historians. We tell the story of a Polish women in a Nazi concentration camp whose story is known through oral histories.
