Tune in as I go into the history of the first woman in America to earn a living as a writer - one Hannah Adams.
Curious and dedicated to learning from a young age, Hannah Adams broke many molds for her time - including remaining single and child-free. She worked tirelessly in producing quality surveys on both history and religion, being the first to provide unbiased accounts of various religious sects.

Two Parties Emerge

Political parties - we either love them or hate them. But where exactly did they come from?
All of the founding fathers tended agree on one thing: factions were not a good thing for the country. But as I explore in this episode, the very men who were adamantly opposed to the formation of parties - Alexander Hamilton & James Madison - were two of the most active and influential individuals in the development of the first political parties.
This episode explores why these parties emerged and why only two major parties get all the attention.
