In this reading by author Lisa Lee Curtis from the pages of her recently published Brief Biographies of Badass Bitches Volumes I & II, Lisa takes a short look at many women throughout history—from activists to scientists to musicians to the mythological—some you've heard of, some you may not have, and how their stories have either been underplayed or disregarded altogether.

Lisa Lee Curtis is a Pacific Northwest born hot mess turned digital nomad with a bad credit rating who spends her time learning more about women who have been underestimated and/or completely overlooked by history. When she's not staying up all night developing a questionable browser history, she enjoys adopting "unadoptable" French Bulldogs with a mean streak, indulging in what might be considered too much wine (pfft), yelling at strangers on the internet, and generally, according to her friends, "making it weird."
