A Version of Sisterhood: Unwed & Unbothered with Emma Duval

Civics & Coffee: A History Podcast

About

From spinsters to old maids, women who broke conventions to remain single have long been derided as somehow outside of the norm. But history shows this has been happening for generations. What gives?

Join me this week as I sit down with author and illustrator Emma Duval to chat about her debut book, Unwed & Unbothered: The Defiant Lives of Single Women Throughout History. Learn about what motivated Emma to write such a book, what she uncovered in her research, and what learning about these women can tell us about our present moment.
