Elizabeth (Lizzie) Magie was a reformer against big business, an economist, an actress, a writer, a poet and a pioneering feminist and inventor who held several patents (She also worked in the dead letter office!). She invented an anti-capitalist board game that was stolen by a lying, opportunistic man and repackaged as capitalist family fun. Listen to her story that was sadly untold before her death, but let’s celebrate and elevate her & her amazing story!

Caresse Crosby (born Mary Phelps Jacob), was the first recipient of a patent for the successful modern bra, an American patron of the arts, a publisher, and the woman Time called the "literary godmother to the Lost Generation of expatriate writers in Paris. She truly lived a life far outside the conventions of her time.  Caresse Crosby rejected the culturally prescribed roles of women of her era and background in search of an independent, creative, and socially responsible life. The bra was perfectly symbolic- Her breaking away from the restricted life that she’d been born into. But the extraordinary life of Caresse Crosby, a notorious figure in 1920s bohemian Paris, has sadly, been largely forgotten. Let's give this Sheela some light!
