4. Women's Contributions in Military History

This will be a special, extended episode of Hardtack in recognition of Women’s Equality Day, which is observed in the United States every year on August 26th. During this episode we will briefly discuss the origins of Women’s Equality Day and the woman who championed the bill in the United States Congress. We will also hear from each of our hosts who have brought their own research on a specific woman and their contributions to Military History.

You can find the Hardtack Podcast socials via linktree.
