00:00:31.320 What are you doing in my office?
00:00:34.640 Well, as you well know, we have spent the last two years discussing women who have lifted themselves up financially by depicting their home life, by depicting raising children, motherhood, the whole gamut.
00:00:48.420 And it's time, I think, that we talk about the original influencer who we have not discussed on the podcast yet, but who you may recall because I once forced you to drive into the middle of the prairie to visit her house.
00:01:05.780 You did. You kidnapped me. Actually, it was a kidnapping.
00:01:08.660 That's it, baby. I kidnapped you and dragged you across state line. 1.00

00:01:50.680 Her influence is so widespread.
00:01:55.460 When we put this out, when you and I both put this out on our socials, the response was incredibly intense.
00:02:01.620 Yeah, I think so many women have been touched by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
00:02:04.140 She's influenced so much of American culture in ways that we don't even talk about.
00:02:10.380 And that is why you're kidnapping me again.
00:02:14.020 And we're going to the prairie.
