The podcast talks a lot about history and how we view and tell it. The podcast talks about how women in history are often overlooked and how we only remember a couple “important” ones. The podcast also talks about how science is often overlooked in the field of history. Science is one of the most important parts of history. Science helps us progress and created the modern society we know. The podcast touches on the lack of women remembered in history for science.
It brings up the important message that we have failed as a society to write and equal history of women and men. Women have made many great discoveries and done important things, but they are not equally remembered. We need to remember and teach the next generation to do better.
I completely agree in how you mentioned women were being overlooked and also the same with science. Those are definitely important parts in history that we can’t just overlook and not fully acknowledge.
I agree with your stance on the importance of science in history, and that it is an integral part of our ever-changing and ever-evolving society. Women have definitely gotten the short end of the stick in history when it comes to innovation as far as recognition is concerned, and so I agree that we need to do better going forward.
I agree with you! I think this push to get the actual history right is starting up with our generation, where I’ll constantly see that a woman was the actual investor of this or that, but I am sure we will continue to improve with generations to come
I agree that science is one of the most important parts of history and we must teach the next generations to work harder to make sure science is included in history and make sure people of all races and genders are included in that history. Along with this I think it is important to point out that our generation has taken some of this on with using the “her story” approaches to also discuss and critique larger narratives to include more people of color and diversity in history. The hosts critique “her story” because it is dangerous to only recount stories of women who embody the “manly” qualities, and I agree with this, but I think we have to look at it as more of a step in the right direction.
