Kelly Lewis Podcast- Pondering Women's Place In Art, Literature & Culture
Welcome to the Kelly Lewis Podcast where we talk about the communal history of women in the plural. We are and have always been a mighty force since the beginning of time. We've just been too busy to record our accomplishments or brag about them since we've been dreaming, falling in love, raising our children, scrubbing the laundry down by the creek, except in Egypt because of the threat of crocodiles or feeding the troops and riveting together bombers to be used in World Wars. What we have Not spent most of history being is gentile and a lesser vessel, actually managing our homes so our husbands could go off- find food, trade or fight wars. Oh and it's mostly us that molds cultures and civilizations. We'll get to that.
