Sad Girl Syllabus by Bethany Tabor and Mary Thompson

Episode notes

The exploration of the “Sad Wife” theme in history and literature continues with the SGS conversation on the American Revolution and America’s eight Founding Mothers. Bethany and Mary discuss how these female counterparts serve the purpose of making the Founding Fathers more well-rounded, their recent role in pop history, and the patronizing “women’s empowerment” meta-narrative.
