It's at broadhistory.com slash membership.

It's all at broadhistory.com, where you can also opt to support the show and get every episode early and ad-free by signing up for membership.

But if you are a member of Broad History, you can hear both episodes right away. And if I'm honest, I'm especially partial to the second one. Go to your members feed right now and you'll find the episode. If you are not a member of Broad History, well, now's your chance. Sign up at broadhistory.com slash membership and you'll get the details to listen right away. As a member, you'll receive every episode early. And with this series, I'll release episodes to member in batches. There's already two more coming next week. You'll get full access to the archives and more benefits as broad history grows, but most importantly, you'll help me make broad history happen. I research, produce, host and edit this show all by myself and your membership is the only way this can happen.

If you're not keen for a subscription, You can also support with a donation of any amount of your choosing, as did Anna, Barbara, Anne, Melissa, Lydia, Cassie, let me know when you see a pattern again, Molly, Amy, Elena, Anne, Haley, Sarah, Ellen, and Barbara, as well as several anonymous donors. This is also something you can do at broadhistory.com.

But researching, writing, editing, publishing, it's full-time and it's expensive. I should know that's exactly what I'm doing here with broad history. Advances from publishers did not remotely cover the costs of writing, unless you were quite famous already. So authors turned to subscriptions. They asked their network, their friends, their readers to pre-buy the book to fund their efforts in advance. And in exchange for that, they would get early access to the work and other perks like getting their names printed in acknowledgments. That, my friends, is a membership program. And it's exactly what we're doing here in 2026. Become a founding member at broadhistory.com and you too could be like one of those early benefactors who funded the creative and intellectual work of women. You'll get a backstage pass to the building of broad history and so much more as we grow, like early and ad-free listening to the podcast. You'll get lifetime top-tier membership at the price you lock in today and first in line access to anything else we come up with as broad history gets bigger, like premium content, merch, online community, events, and more. I've got big plans. Joining right now just as I'm getting started is super important to give Broad History the fuel that it needs to get going. I would really appreciate your support, and I promise it's going to be good. So join as a founding member at broadhistory.com. Again, broadhistory.com. That's it. Back to the show.

Her book, Revolutionary Mothers, is really accessible, fun, and quick to read. It's not an academic text. I do really recommend it. You'll find it in the Broad History Bookshop, another way for both British and American listeners to support the show, support the author to give us their time and expertise, support independent bookstores, not big bad billionaires, and get great books at a discount. You'll find links in the show notes and at broadhistory.com.

We also talked at length about the fate of Black and Indigenous women at Independence. I think I like that episode even more than this one. And you can listen to it right away if you sign up as a supporting member. It's at broadhistory.com slash membership.
