![ReBROADcast: Anna Jarvis - Founder of Mother’s Day (Who Tried to Have it Destroyed) [Chloe Skye]](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/5762959/088DFF7B-0FFD-44EE-ACF2-C5FE7BE9F126_300x300.jpeg){kind=logo}

What better day to throwback a classic episode than MOTHER'S DAY! What do you know about the origin of the holiday? Here's your chance to explore its founder.
Anna Jarvis started Mother’s Day to honor the wishes of her late mother, Ann Jarvis, who originally created the day as a way to bring families together after the end of the American Civil War. When she was successful, the holiday grew larger and spun out of control, far beyond what her mother would have intended.
We also compare the rise of Mother’s Day to the origin of Father’s Day, which was also founded by a Broad You Should Know.

Sara brings us her first-ever solo episode including a hearty welcome to our newer listeners, a reminder that it's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, some big BYSK news, and most importantly - a discussion about the Politico article leaking the draft decision from the US Supreme Court; what it means for women in America, and what we can do to advocate for all the BROADS that will be affected by it, including ourselves.

This week we're bringing back one of our favorite climate-activist-Broads to help us celebrate Earth day!
Chloe brings us the story of a woman who not only won the Nobel Prize for founding a movement that planted over 20 MILLION trees worldwide, but also brought Democracy to Kenya… but it took nearly her entire life to do it.
After earning her doctorate, she first got involved as an activist for Women’s rights and politics. After an unfounded scandal brought forth from her ex husband, she lost her job, her home, and had to start again. The story is filled with tragedy but ultimately ends in an uplifiting message to never, ever give up. Wangari is an inspiration to many, and is absolutely a broad you owe it to yourself to get to know.

This week, guest Adrian Snow brings us one of the greatest actor Broads of the 21st Century - Michelle Yeoh!
Whether you just saw her new film Everything Everywhere All at Once (Adrian & Sara's MUST SEE movie of the year!!), watched her dazzle in Crazy Rich Asians, kiss James Bond, or serve up crazy stunts with Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh brings talent, class, and straight up badassery to every role she tackles.
As Adrian tells us, though, her road to being dubbed "The Greatest Action Heroine of All Time" and "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" was not an easy one. It's filled with career changes, injuries, hiatuses and nearly quitting altogether until one of the most unlikeliest people tells her exactly what she needed to hear.
Who was it and what did they say to her? You'll have to listen to find out!

This week, Sara brings us Constance Baker Motley - The first black woman to try a case before the Supreme Court, to serve in the NY Senate, to be elected Manhattan Borough President, to be appointed to a Federal Judgeship and to be promoted to Chief Judge.
This powerhouse Broad was the role model for many of today's most prominent women of color in the Judiciary branch including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Vice President Kamala Harris, and it's NO WONDER! Constance not only wrote the brief for Brown vs. Board of Education, she also represented clients in almost all of the most prominent desegregation, fair housing, and other civil rights cases of the time, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after his arrest in Birmingham, winning 9 of the 10 cases she took to the Supreme Court. She is definitively a BROAD YOU SHOULD KNOW!

This week, Sara brings us the incomparable Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi! She is considered one of the foremost painters of the 17th century, eclipsing her father's skill and considered more brazen than Caravaggio himself.
Due to her own exceptional skill and brilliant business tactics, Artemisia's popularity exploded and she painted commissions for the most elite patrons across all of Europe, becoming so successful she didn't even "need a husband" anymore. However, much of her life and success was overshadowed by her sexual assault at 17 years old and the public trial that followed. Much of her work reflects that brutal experience, too.
Artemisia and her work has recently come back into the spotlight in the wake of the #metoo movement; Her paintings have become emblematic of the strong, powerful woman in the face of the violence inflected upon her. Her story is one of great independent success despite the odds and she is most definitely a BROAD You Should Know!

This week, Elise Ballard brings us the tale of Edith Loeber Ballard, M.D.! Despite a very successful debut, Edith Loeber was not content to simply marry well. However, after completing medical school up North, she and a group of seven other women doctors found themselves unable to secure positions at New Orleans hospitals - because they were women, of course.
Instead of accepting defeat, these trailblazers combined forces to raise funds and create the New Orleans Dispensary for Women and Children - the first hospital of its kind in Louisiana and all the South. They served the poorest folks in the most need of medical care, and for FREE. They also became the first female doctors and surgeons in the entire South. Their work didn't stop there, though. Listen now to find out the full story!

This week, Michael Kuciak brings us the tale of Daria Nicolodi! Daria knew from a young age she was going to be a brilliant actor and her success in Italian television led her to be cast in a film that would become a foundational masterpiece of horror cinema: Deep Red (Profondo Rosso).
Her work on the film went far beyond the strong, sassy journalist she played; She also helped develop the production design, catapulting the film's success as well as the careers of her and director Dario Argento. Her stellar talent and whip smart intellect profoundly changed the horror genre, and film industry at large.

This week, Sara sheds some light on The Invisible Battalion! While Ukrainian women have been defending their country on the front lines for decades, it wasn't until 2018 that they were actually allowed to serve in combat ranks, thanks, in large part, to a massive campaign known as "The Invisible Battalion," led by the NGO Institute of Gender Programs (invisiblebattalion.org). The women leading this movement have opened the door for Ukrainian women's rights, and their powerful campaign also gives us a stark and heartbreaking window into the war Ukrainians have been fighting to keep their homeland since 2014.

This week, Sara brings back the story of Olga of Kyiv: The Viking Warrior Queen who orchestrated one of the most prolonged, bloody revenge strategies of all time before expanding trade (putting the Kyivan Rus on the map), tricking Emperor Constantine VII, converting to Christianity and spreading the faith so successfully that she was canonized the Patron Saint of Widows and Converts.
This is the OG Boss Queen of Ukraine and her story is so epic that it served as a basis for some of your favorite moments on Game of Thrones. If you haven't heard of Olga, or even if you remember her from when this episode first aired in 2020, listen again and be transported to one of the most spectacular origin stories of Ukraine.
