Re-Feminist History (aka Bitchstory)

Listen to the Podcast:  Re-Feminist History Email me:  kelly@thebitchwhisperer.me Hi! So as I announced in my previous post, this blog will now be used to highlight the women we talk about on the podcast, formerly named "Bitchstory", now called "Re-feminist History". Doo-do-dooooo! First up, Isabella Goodwin, the NYPD's first female detective. And what a badass she was! Isabella Loghry was born in Greenwich Village, Manhattan in 1865. Around 1885, aged 19, she married John W. Goodwin, a police officer. The couple had six children, of which four survived. Goodwin was widowed in 1896, when she was 30 years old.

Gitches? Whatever. So listen. This week is a bit of a mixed bag, but the bag is a little more intense than usual. Things feel a bit unstable on an emotional level. For starters, Mars, Venus and the Sun all change signs this week. Valentine’s Day is in the middle of the week, and no matter if you think it’s great or stupid, it is in our collective consciousness and there are feelings and expectations associated with it. V-day, no matter how we try to spin it, often results in disappointment. Then Pluto is very active this week, intensifying things in Aquarius, the sign of humanity. So from the goddesses we have the following aspects:   Circe square Kali, Is...
