160: Tit for Tat [Wild Women pt.1: Boudica the Warrior Queen]
We love powerful women on this show, and this week's subject is no different! Boudica is known as a powerful leader against Roman control. She is a popular figure in British history. And her likeness is used as a symbol for a host of causes. But what is the actual story behind Boudica's popularity? What is her story? And who can we trust when it comes to document it and share it truthfully. This week we dive in the Tit for Tat history of Boudica. This week on Well, I Laughed.
