HerStoryTelling started as a simple conversation between a journalist and a podcast host in 2021. Both had toyed with the idea of telling the story of the sexism that runs rampant in male-dominated industries – and what better way to tell that story than by combining our superpowers to create a five-part blog series for Women’s History Month. We celebrated Women’s History Month 2022 by adding video interviews with subject matter experts, and we brought men’s voices in to share their thoughts on some of the experiences described in the blogs.
But there are so many more stories to tell, so many women who made HERstory, who have gone largely unrecognized. It’s time to celebrate them. We can’t wait to tell their stories.
