    Who are the people who unearthed Egyptian antiquities and brought them to Western museums? Besides the countless male archaeologists we've heard about, several important women dug in the sands and their stories are an intersectional revelation. Kathleen Sheppard joins the show to talk about her book Women in the Valley of Kings.

Compelling and Insightful Podcast

After completing the HBO series "The Gilded Age", I wanted to learn more about the time period and found this podcast. I caught up on the entire series in about 2 weeks. Each episode covers a new topic about the era and many of the topics are completely new to me (like trash service - who would have thought that trash service could be interesting?). The guest scholars are interesting and insightful. Michael Patrick Cullinane is amazing. I wish I was able to sit in one of his history classes. I am truly grateful to this podcast for unleashing my inner history nerd!
