For the Love of History - Podcast autorstwa Tehya N.
Happy Women's History Month!! To kick off this year's Women's History Month we will be traveling to Japan to learn about some ancient Japanese history. Before Japan was even Japan, before the Japanese people even had a written language, we're going back almost 3,000 years to talk about a shamen queen who could control demons! Queen Himiko is now one of the most famous and recognizable figures in Japanese history however her story was almost lost. But it lost on accident or was her story purposefully hidden by sexism and patriarchal society? Find out this and more in this week's episode of For the Love of History Podcast!
