In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of onna-bugeisha, the female samurai who defied traditional gender roles in shogunate Japan. Spanning a period from the 1100s to the 1800s, we explore how these formidable women navigated the rigid feudal class system, trained in martial arts, and defended their homes and castles. Learn about legendary figures like Tomoe Gozen, whose prowess in battle was unparalleled, and Takeko Nakano, who led a valiant, albeit tragic, stand against enemy forces. We also uncover the remarkable story of Miyagino and Shinobu, two peasant women who avenged their father's death using the skills they learned from a samurai instructor. Join us as we shine a light on these warrior women who played crucial roles in the rich tapestry of Japanese history, challenging stereotypes and leaving an indelible mark on their time.

In the last few years, I have started to hear a lot more about a holiday in the US called Juneteenth. I knew that it was a significant event connected to the end of slavery, but this episode does a wonderful job at explaining the significance of Juneteenth and tells the story of the activist Miss Opal Lee who fought to make Juneteenth an official national holiday in America. In 2021, she was finally successful.

Reflection Questions:
- Discuss why traditionally textbooks have predominantly told the stories of men and not included stories of women.
- Why it is important to represent the history of both men and women in history texts?
- Vikings have very straightforward naming conventions. Can you think of some surnames that are common these days and work out where the name may have originated from? (Hint, someone with the surname Baker may have originate from a family who made bread.)
- Explain why Gunnhild's origins may be contested.

Reflection Questions:
- Research the term Glass Ceiling. What does this term mean, and does it have other applications other than politics?
- Explain why Irene thought it was important to have female police officers?
- How do political candidates tell people about their policies today? How does this differ from methods from more than 90 years ago?
- In her campaign leaflet Longman said, 'there can be no true democracy where only one sex is directly represented in parliament'. What is the implicit meaning of this statement?
- When QLD parliament house was built, there were no female toilets. What does this implicitly tell us about the role of women at this time?

When you think child migrants of World War II, you are probably thinking of the children who were shipped out of the major cities during the Blitz or the Jewish children who were smuggled out of Germany, but today I want to tell you about a different group of children, children who were often lied to about their parents being dead and were shipped off to the other side of the world to endure a childhood of punishing labour and a life devoid of both education and love.

What doesn’t immediately come to mind is the Russian Women’s Battalion of Death led by the fearless Maria Bochkareva

During World War II, Aboriginal Australians were generally not accepted into the armed forces, the Army, Navy nor Airforce. However, this all changed after Japan entered the war and the government began to fear the security of the Northern Territory. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Soldiers in the north of Australia were recruited. More than 800 signing up to join the uniformed Torres Straight Light Infantry. But there was another group that will be our focus for today. The group was made up of 50 non-uniformed men with incredible tracking skills, who became known as the Northern Territory Special Reconnaissance Unit.

The actions of Rosa Parks in 1955 were a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and it would be easy to say she was a tired old lady who just needed to sit down whilst riding a bus and that sparked the chain of civil rights events. But there are a few things wrong with that narrative. Find out why Rosa was chosen as the face of the boycott rather than Claudette Colvin.

In the early 1950s, the Prime Minister of Australia, Robert Menzies, received a request from the Prime Minister of England, Clement Attlee, requesting if Britain could conduct their nuclear weapons testing in Australia. Without so much as talking to the politicians in his cabinet or requesting any information or reports on the possible health or environmental risks, Menzies said yes, and even committed Australian servicemen to help the British carry out their tests. Thus, began the testing in Monte Bello Islands off the coast of Western Australia, and the 2 sites in South Australia, Emu Field and Maralinga.
