Vulgar History - Tits Out Brigade Qs and As, part two

00:00:00.000 hello and welcome to vulgar history feminist women's history comedy podcast my name is ann

00:00:19.640 foster and this is part two of q's and a's from the tits out brigade so as i explained last time

00:00:27.640 there is a couple of coinciding things like firstly we reached 1 million listens of the

00:00:32.680 podcast secondly we're halfway through the international season thirdly depending how

00:00:38.860 you count this is maybe the 50th like episode excluding super specials not sure um and also

00:00:45.980 i just needed a bit more time to get the next few episodes ready so more questions from all of you

00:00:52.320 This time we dive into some Canadian history, more information about me and who I would do various things with, who are people on the podcast.

00:01:05.380 Anyway, enjoy and thank you for sending me your questions.

00:01:10.700 Oh, here's a good question from True Crime Saskatchewan, which side note you shall follow.

00:01:16.200 I'm from Saskatchewan. My friend Melanie runs this account.

00:01:19.420 Saskatchewan is a place not unlike Cabot Cove, Maine and Murder, She Wrote, where there's just

00:01:24.440 like historically a lot of really weird farm-based murders. Anyway, true crime Saskatchewan you 0.77

00:01:31.460 should follow. And she asks, why are the Habsburgs your sworn enemy? And I'm pretty sure I've

00:01:37.520 mentioned this on the podcast because I think this a lot. Fucking hate the Habsburgs. They're 1.00

00:01:44.600 everywhere so many stories i research it's just like and like these german princes like the

00:01:49.820 habsburgs are just like all over western european history they're like a family that are just i

00:01:56.480 don't know it's just there's so many princes they married people and then they wound up being in

00:01:59.420 charge of everywhere or something i don't know because i hate them so much i've never read about 0.75

00:02:03.660 them it's just whenever i'm reading a story and it's just like habsburg i'm like goddamn habsburgs 0.91

00:02:07.820 it's like they keep they're just everywhere they're um i am going to be talking about 0.52

00:02:13.360 a Habsburg later this season and the story is good and it's going to force me to learn about

00:02:19.040 the Habsburgs and I'm not happy about it. But they're just fucking everywhere. It's just like 1.00

00:02:23.780 every story you read, you're just like doop-a-doop-a-do Habsburg. It's like when I'm doing

00:02:27.560 an episode and it's like, oh, another man named Miguel. Oh, he's also named Miguel. Like, great.

00:02:31.620 This is going to be great for a podcast if literally everyone is named Miguel. It's just

00:02:35.460 like the Habsburgs, but they're in every story. They're everywhere. They're all over the place.

00:02:40.140 i can't deal with it i hate them question from hex girly who asks which vulgar history woman 1.00

00:02:46.720 changed your life slash perspective the most and that is absolutely my girl tits out francis 0.94

00:02:54.820 howard so the road that brought me to hosting this podcast a significant moment on it was when

00:03:03.420 i first learned about francis howard so i had been writing these essays on my website and foster

00:03:08.480 writer.com um like since i was watching rain so rain was on tv and i had a gig for a while

00:03:13.780 writing tv recaps about it and then the site i was recapping for folded but i was like well rain

00:03:19.600 is in his final season i need to write about it so i started a website to like write my rain recaps

00:03:23.240 on and then when that finished i was like well what if i write about like women from history i

00:03:27.100 guess and so i was kind of like at that point you know now i'm like a pro at it i like finding

00:03:32.020 interesting people but at that point i was like i don't know who do i want to learn about and it

00:03:35.620 was less about it was entirely who do i want to learn about it wasn't like who do i want to tell

00:03:39.540 other people about it was like who do i what's a story that i think will be fun so it's like

00:03:43.840 exactly what i do for the podcast now it's like i find a story that seems fun i have fun researching

00:03:47.980 it and then i get to tell it to you and then 10 minutes later i forgot about it kind of like

00:03:51.940 writing an exam so francis howard was the first like truly obscure figure that i encountered so

00:04:00.240 before then i'd been reading about like the wives of her eighths or like my queen of scots or like

00:04:05.600 um even elizabeth bathory like more better known uh people about whom biographies had been written

00:04:12.240 there are some biographies but francis howard now but she was just like that was like a

00:04:16.440 that is kind of what pivoted me into being like wait who else is cool like this that i've never

00:04:22.340 heard about so um yeah francis howard but then also honestly in the way that i found francis

00:04:29.200 Howard was so there's a book um the poison bed by Elizabeth Fremantle came out I forget a few years

00:04:36.760 ago it's a novel also like a nut for small fishes about Francis Howard and so but it's more kind of

00:04:43.880 like a gone girl thriller version of it you know recommend that as well anyway so this book came

00:04:48.560 out and it was like this is about this woman and she like poisoned this man maybe and I was like

00:04:51.960 is this a true story and then I looked at the Wikipedia page and then my life forever changed

00:04:56.040 because I was like, what is this neckline? Who is this tits out person? And then when, like, 0.88

00:05:00.520 as all of you, I would imagine when you start looking at Frances Howard, you're just like, 0.98

00:05:04.080 wait, why are her tits always out? And then it's like, oh, I'm sure that was just the style at the 0.71

00:05:07.800 time. That was not the style at the time. She's just tits out Frances Howard. And that really,

00:05:12.960 truly pivoted me into being like, oh, like there's really interesting people that are lesser known

00:05:17.820 and I want to find them and learn about them.

00:05:20.820 um voopity asks which vulgar history woman would be your best friend in real life if they were

00:05:28.540 still alive of course so for this i'm gonna imagine a modern day context like 2022 and

00:05:37.080 what if this person had been born to be an adult now versus when they were alive so that is

00:05:42.920 interesting because a lot of people became who they were because of the circumstance so this is

00:05:46.440 more like who was a person who who was who they were just inherently no matter their circumstance

00:05:53.320 and i think i'm gonna choose um cecilia of sweden to be my best friend in real life because she just

00:06:01.540 had fun i think she'd be such a fun friend to have like the various things that happened with

00:06:09.160 her like there's a part that like the 12 dancing princesses like she just kept secretly having

00:06:13.120 parties like i think she's something just like texting me like hey i'm going to do this thing

00:06:16.160 like i'm picking up in five minutes and i'm like cecilia i'm in my pajamas but then you go with her

00:06:19.720 and you have so much fun yeah cecilia i think holland asks who is someone in history you love

00:06:29.000 to hate hmm i mostly hate to hate i don't think i love to hate i don't know in terms of history

00:06:41.540 it's like there's the women who i write about not all of whom i admire but none of whom i hate

00:06:48.760 there are men in history who i hate because they're awful and that is why i do so this 0.99

00:06:54.160 asshole you know you know who i love to hate robert dudley he's like he sucks but he's not 1.00

00:07:00.900 like malevolent like a hernan cortez level person like robert dudley just sucks he his whole thing 1.00

00:07:07.720 where he's just like oh elizabeth won't you like be my girlfriend or wife or whatever and she's 0.96

00:07:11.580 like no because i'm the queen and he's like me i'll just go marry someone who looks like you 0.99

00:07:14.740 and then kill her and then like marry someone else like he just sucks but in a satisfying way 0.98

00:07:21.400 and he's not as awful to just hate to hate him like i hate henry the eighth like because he 1.00

00:07:28.240 didn't have as much power he was just kind of this like dumbass himbo type serena asks what 0.57

00:07:34.340 historical novel do you wish you could be a part of oh wow which historical novel 0.72

00:07:41.700 so if i like if i was okay so like the events of a historical novel i'm gonna say tip for the

00:07:49.680 hangman by alison epstein because i imagine i could like live in this kind of i'd love to live

00:07:55.460 in like shakespearean england time but in a novel so i'm safe so i won't get like the plague or

00:08:02.240 whatever um i think that would be fun to watch kit marlowe and what he's up to and also you get to

00:08:07.100 see all the plays like which i think would be really cool to see those plays in the time they

00:08:11.540 were done so if i was in the novel i'd just be like the wench who works at the bar or whatever

00:08:16.360 who kind of like sees what's going on but like is outside of the drama that would be my choice

00:08:20.320 so this is a great non-question but statement from sarah who says not a question but i kind

00:08:25.900 of wish every episode could be about fredigand same honestly same like after i did the fredigand

00:08:32.580 episodes i was like i'm done that's it i'm never gonna find a story this good again um but i have

00:08:37.800 of course found lots of good stories since then but fredigand i yeah that was like as much as 0.99

00:08:45.740 francis howard was sort of like a turning point for me of like oh there are like less than women

00:08:49.900 in history who are interesting fredigan was just like oh fuck yes just like ah you know it was like

00:08:57.480 have i read about everyone interesting oh guess what no um the immaculate witch asks what's your 0.98

00:09:02.900 favorite color my answer is the color pink from barbies like real barbie pink if you look at my

00:09:09.800 instagram that will be apparent to you rosie asks will there be a queen elizabeth the first

00:09:15.400 series um maybe i am i truly don't know what the next season is going to entail there will

00:09:24.560 definitely be further seasons but i'm really into the international thing right now queen

00:09:28.520 elizabeth the first is someone who it's like she's so well known you know it's like i need

00:09:34.580 to figure out a way to make that interesting for me to do because so many people have talked about

00:09:41.320 it so well before. Marat Thulin asks, will you be looking at a Southeast Asian history for an

00:09:48.400 episode? Example, Cambodian, Laos, Vietnam, Thai. I would love to. I read that question. I was like,

00:09:56.580 yeah, I absolutely should. And I do think after this international season, like I'm going to be

00:10:01.960 keeping up, looking at other countries. Like I really do. You know, when I see the statistics

00:10:08.000 showing where all the people listening to this podcast live i really want to help i personally

00:10:13.920 firstly i want to like learn about these places because i've never been there but also i want to

00:10:18.600 help elevate stories of people from other places anyway so yes yes my answer is yes i will be doing

00:10:27.800 and later this season too and we're gonna have the first like east asian actually two two different

00:10:32.860 people will be profiled later this season southeast asian hopefully soon as well um lover bay seven 0.88

00:10:40.680 asks which badass woman you have covered on the show would you like to meet the most so just to 0.99

00:10:47.340 meet someone not to like not a lunch not like to have a conversation but just like who would i like

00:10:53.880 to meet um i would like to meet 0.87

00:10:58.920 i'm thinking lady mary gray i think it'd be really cool actually she would be good for the 0.96

00:11:06.360 conversation one too she was you know like in her later years like after she was out of jail and

00:11:11.100 she's just like going around didn't they say she was like a yellow dress and she looked like a bee

00:11:14.280 or whatever i feel like well now i'm giving it a context i have to give it a context i can't just

00:11:18.760 be like meet someone shake their hand and walk away i feel like i'd like to go into her house

00:11:22.640 and like have okay so i didn't have tea at that point because of like england hadn't started

00:11:27.480 colonizing the east but just go to her house and just like hang out and like i don't know just like

00:11:34.440 have a chill afternoon i think it'd be nice um but also she's someone whose life is less

00:11:39.840 catastrophic so i think it'd be a more chill you know like i'm not gonna like katherine gray like 1.00

00:11:44.220 no she was a hot mess jane gray no like she was an asshole and also a mess isa says is 1.00

00:11:52.580 so juana inez de la cruz in your radar she should be answer she is so and yeah so some people ask 0.99

00:12:02.260 for suggestions of or offer suggestions and i have got a huge long list of people who've been

00:12:08.680 suggested and thank you so much for that um i forgot who was asking me like where do you find 0.97

00:12:13.320 these like obscure women and i'm just like honestly it's from the tits out brigade you know 0.91

00:12:17.520 like i have reached the limit of like what i was personally able to figure out just by like looking

00:12:22.960 you know when you look at enough books are like 25 women from history it's like great i know all

00:12:27.500 25 of them i'm like who else like who's less known to me and the tits of brigade has been phenomenal

00:12:32.620 at bringing people to my attention uh victor's crumb asks will we are we getting a catherine

00:12:38.320 de medici episode and that i can answer and the answer is yes and the answer is soon so not this

00:12:44.600 season like we're still doing international for the next what 10 weeks or whatever but what i'm

00:12:50.840 hoping to do is like rather than just like disappearing into a void between seasons like

00:12:56.140 i want to try to do at least one vulgar history episode every month like even between seasons and

00:13:01.380 so i brought this up with on patreon and i had a list of kind of like here are people that i've

00:13:06.460 written about before so i could like pretty easily do an episode without having to do like

00:13:10.340 two weeks of research and catherine de medici was by far the most voted for person so that's

00:13:16.260 going to be coming sometime this summer probably yes mean asks will you do a tutor era season

00:13:23.860 slash seasons i'm dying to hear it from you so that's again it's like similar to the elizabeth

00:13:29.380 the first question where it's like i could okay i'm never gonna do the six wives of henry the

00:13:35.780 eighth season because I can't because I've already done an episode about Catherine Parr and I reject

00:13:41.260 doing an episode on Jane Seymour because on the basis that she's very boring but I can definitely

00:13:47.900 see having an Anne Boleyn moment an Anne of Cleves moment Catherine of Aragon moment like sure I could

00:13:56.120 I could see those happening but it wouldn't be all together probably um I've done so many Tudor

00:14:01.540 era people there's like not that many left but then like the war of the roses you know margaret

00:14:06.740 beaufort and stuff i don't know but again those are some of the people who have written about

00:14:10.120 before so those might be like between the seasons people so less of a season but maybe just like

00:14:15.680 every now and then super special um melanie asks if you could live in any of the stories you've

00:14:21.760 covered which would it be if i could live god okay my instinct for so many of these is like

00:14:28.260 in Jenga and then I'm just like no because I would die like that was like a brutal world she lived in

00:14:33.640 so it's like if I was gonna live in one of these I want to think of like what's a place where it'd 0.99

00:14:37.720 be like okay um one option would be if I lived in the palace in the era of harem sultan not being 0.73

00:14:47.240 well you know what there wasn't concubines because she was his one and only yeah so if I could live

00:14:52.700 in like top cappy palace um just be like i don't know even being a servant there it seems like

00:14:58.260 would be like not like as a female woman the the men the eunuchs had other stuff going on but if i

00:15:04.840 could be like one of the higher up servants or the like house manager or something in the war in that

00:15:10.440 world i think that would be i think that would be okay um another option i'll just offer is um

00:15:17.240 caroline of brunswick the part where she was living not at the royal palace but in her own house and

00:15:22.200 she would like have parties all the time and everyone just hang out also seems like a pretty

00:15:27.520 chill place to be aaron asks any dream episodes that can't be done for logistical reasons e.g

00:15:34.480 zilch info anywhere yes um so many so what i've explained to you about my process sometimes i'm

00:15:41.440 just like oh this sounds like a cool woman and then you start looking and i'm like well maybe

00:15:45.780 she is but all that i can find is two sentences about her or like well we don't know her name

00:15:51.060 maybe it was a person like there's a lot there's a lot of people like that um where there's just

00:15:56.140 not enough I don't know well and that's the thing so I can't name them because it would just be like

00:16:00.400 a potential person I looked at for an episode and then I'm like there's just nothing like there's

00:16:03.940 nothing there's nothing to dig into here for this person so I don't remember who that person was

00:16:08.880 because I just learned quickly that it wasn't someone that I would be able to do an episode

00:16:13.380 about which is disappointing sometimes when it seems like oh man this sounds like a cool person

00:16:19.180 but then also helps because there's like a lot of people out there and if there's a lot written

00:16:25.100 about everybody then it would be hard for me to choose sf listra asks favorite non-history

00:16:32.800 related thing slash activity great question because you know in terms of like the stuff

00:16:38.780 about like costume dramas or like books and things when i'm not working on vulgar history 0.61

00:16:44.240 I like do not do I don't fuck with historical stuff like I can't like I need to have that

00:16:49.800 separation in my life because I need to it's very all-encompassing like between the research and 0.88

00:16:56.520 the recording and editing and then just like keeping up with you know Instagram and whatever

00:17:00.340 it's just like no when I'm not doing vulgar history lately I'm watching Forged in Fire

00:17:06.240 which does have history and actually it was really exciting an episode I watched the other day

00:17:10.520 the final weapon they had to make was one that like was used by medieval vikings and i was like

00:17:15.040 wait like the kind of medieval vikings who ethelflaed was up against totally it was that i

00:17:19.180 was just like sounds like a nice connection but murder she wrote um fortune fire these are the

00:17:24.880 things my other hobby i don't know i do like cooking but i haven't had time to do a lot of

00:17:30.240 cooking lately just for life-related reasons and my other hobby is hanging out with heparin who's

00:17:36.320 right here someone had asked a while ago like put more heparin on the show like heparin meow it's

00:17:41.040 like she only meows when she's like really mad at me and so the fact that she's quiet right now is

00:17:46.200 actually very positive okay so there's so many questions but honestly i'm living for this this

00:17:53.480 is really fun wolf and fox 25 asks what is your favorite non-boozy drink like your favorite tea

00:17:59.740 or coffee i have one right here that i'm sipping on i love earl gray tea with milk and sugar and i

00:18:05.380 also love a london fog which if you don't know is like hot steamed milk with earl grey tea in it

00:18:11.880 and then vanilla syrup added bliss a dream i love it i also love as i have discovered um kashmiri

00:18:19.260 chai which is like or the chai that they serve at the local kashmiri restaurant which is just like

00:18:26.460 i think there's like um turmeric in it amazing so good poppy mave asks what was it that got you

00:18:33.800 into bts love this question i am totally into so i love bts i love blackpink those are my like

00:18:42.560 go-to just like hype me up like listening like while i'm doing anything while i'm running while

00:18:48.540 i'm like whatever i love it so what got me into bts was my sister who is really into bts was

00:18:55.880 talking about it and i was just like what are you saying so i watched a video i was like oh

00:18:59.100 that's a good video and then i started and i was like wait there's seven of them and then i was

00:19:02.720 like okay and then i made a mission i'm like i'm gonna learn who is who and what they're like

00:19:05.860 in so doing i became totally enamored of them i love what they do with their okay firstly i love

00:19:12.220 their songs i love their choreography i love their stage shows i also love um the what they do with

00:19:18.200 their fame and with being role models and how they you know give back to charity and how they're

00:19:24.520 really like thoughtful and considerate and how they have a lot of songs that really touch on you

00:19:29.720 know mental health and like the real feelings they're going through the lots of people going

00:19:33.900 through i think it's really cool to have these seven men who are out there like having a good

00:19:40.480 time um but also just like really leading by example their outfits are killer i love their 0.95

00:19:45.260 hair i love their their videos i love them so much oh rachel root asked who are the badass tits

00:19:52.440 out canadian women from history that you like so this is i did a little research for this as well

00:19:59.700 because i really wanted to be prepared for this question so i have a little mini document to go

00:20:05.820 through i guess this is a good answer to like things stories i want to tell but there's not

00:20:09.580 enough stuff to make an episode out of them so briefly some notable canadian tits out situations

00:20:15.700 the fee du roi which is french for the king's daughters actually sorry stepping back because

00:20:22.000 i know a lot of you are not from canada so the history of canada is similar to most every other

00:20:28.680 country in like north central and south america in that like there were indigenous people who

00:20:34.800 lived here and then a variety of europeans came over and the europeans fought wars against each

00:20:38.580 other and eventually one of them won and in canada eventually it was the british but for a long time

00:20:42.680 uh it was the french the spanish were never here so it was between the french and the british anyway

00:20:47.900 so when the french were here um it was mostly men and so they lived in they called it new france and

00:20:54.420 it's kind of like the canadian provinces on the east coast but then king louis the 14th was like

00:20:59.500 um how are we gonna like develop this colony if everyone who lives here is men we need like

00:21:05.820 babies being born so they um got together a bunch of young women who were called the king's daughters

00:21:13.500 um so their travel to the colony was paid for by the king and they kind of arrived with dowries

00:21:19.020 that the king also paid for so they just kind of arrived and then men chose them you know like the

00:21:24.700 prettiest ones were chosen first some of them were never chosen stuff like that um the program was a

00:21:29.620 resounding success so 1669 i think well okay in 1670 it was reported that most of the girls who

00:21:37.460 had come there a year before were already pregnant by 1671 a total of nearly 700 children were born

00:21:43.060 to the fees do war and so the population like the colony was suddenly like men their young wives and

00:21:49.360 a whole lot of babies so ever since the inception of the program there was kind of a misunderstanding

00:21:55.480 or misapprehension that the women were um like sex workers but um this was sort of like people

00:22:03.660 are confusing i think with what was happening with i don't know the history of australia well

00:22:07.220 enough was it around the same time where that was like a penal colony like women criminals were sent

00:22:11.300 there. So there's kind of a misunderstanding that it was like criminal women were being sent there.

00:22:16.740 So there's about 800 Fiduwa. And of them, only one was ever charged with prostitution.

00:22:22.940 And she was charged. Her name was Catherine Gushlin. And she was charged with prostitution

00:22:26.960 because she'd been left by her husband and had no other way to support herself. So very much like

00:22:31.000 Halle Bubenhold, the five vibes where it's like, she, let's see, she had children out of wedlock. 0.51

00:22:36.840 she had marriage contracts canceled anyway she married again and this is just a fun part at the

00:22:42.580 part of the wikipedia it's like notable descendants of the feeder war because they had all these

00:22:46.420 children um notable descendants from this program hillary clinton angelina jolie madonna chloe

00:22:55.220 seveny and former dancing with the stars host tom bergeron i put these in historical order just

00:23:01.800 because especially we don't know canadian history you'd be like who was there when so the next woman

00:23:06.220 I'm going to talk about for Canadian history is called the Naldeter, who was a Dene woman,

00:23:12.360 which is, and was then also, an indigenous group living in Canada. So she was born around 1697.

00:23:20.760 So in early 1713, her community where she's living were attacked by Cree, which is another tribe.

00:23:28.180 The women were captured. Among them was the Naldeter. So she was captured after spending 1.00

00:23:35.540 winter with them she and one other woman escaped and they attempted to rejoin their people but it

00:23:40.240 was too cold they were hungry also they endured a year of hardship my god so i guess just trying

00:23:50.020 to find their people again but also like being so this is like modern day manitoba canada which

00:23:56.380 you could google but it's like towards the middle of canada and the northern part is like really

00:24:00.940 cold anyway so eventually her companion whoever it was like her sister or her friend or whoever

00:24:06.460 died anyway she was then discovered by goose hunters from the hudson's bay company which

00:24:11.260 not to get into this whole thing but hudson's bay like the bay is a company still in canada

00:24:17.480 and they were so canada was early the british showed up and they were like hunting for furs

00:24:25.320 and beaver pelts and it was like a business it wasn't like a country it was like so it's different

00:24:29.100 from what happened in the U S anyway. So, and this is, but this is why we know about her because

00:24:35.440 people from the Hudson's Bay company, as well as her own people recorded some of the stuff that

00:24:39.360 she did. So they like rescued her. And then she was brought to James Knight, who was a director

00:24:45.920 of the Hudson's Bay company who needed. So the reason they rescued her, I think was because they

00:24:50.360 needed an interpreter, um, to help them try to get some more trade agreements or whatever. So

00:24:55.240 It's a very, like, Malinzine situation. 1.00

00:24:57.880 Like, they needed her for her language skills.

00:25:00.720 So effectively, what was happening is the Dene and the Cree were at war,

00:25:05.300 and the Hudson's Bay Company wanted them to not be at war, 0.67

00:25:08.260 so they could, like, buy furs from all of them. 0.81

00:25:10.520 The Nalditer could speak both of these languages, and apparently also English, 0.62

00:25:14.420 and so they brought her along to help negotiate kind of a peace treaty. 0.56

00:25:18.620 And she did amazing Malinzine vibes.

00:25:21.200 So she was given many gifts to present to her people once the negotiations were complete.

00:25:26.900 Knight started referring to her as Slave Woman Joan after Joan of Arc because she was like a woman who did cool stuff.

00:25:36.820 And that was the only woman that he knew of who had done cool stuff.

00:25:39.460 So the title Slave Woman itself came from the fact that she had been enslaved by the Cree.

00:25:45.440 And then, yeah, so anyway, her translation helped out.

00:25:48.780 and then so initially night intended to provide passage for her and her people so they could

00:25:56.260 return back to their land but um there was a harsh winter and then she died of a fever in 1717

00:26:04.440 he stated that although the weather was nice it was the most melancholiest by the loss of her so

00:26:10.440 he really relied on her so much and then he also said in his diaries he had difficulty finding

00:26:15.000 another translator um for that time he ended up spending above 60 skins value in goods to replace

00:26:21.560 her because she was so good at her job then so also because there were so french people were 0.94

00:26:29.060 here english people were here and they also brought over um enslaved black people so one of

00:26:34.040 these people was marie joseph angelique so she was born around 1705 in madeira which was a

00:26:42.520 portuguese colony in the atlantic she was sold to a flemish man who brought her to quote the new

00:26:49.980 world so she lived in new england before being sold in 1725 to an important french businessman

00:26:55.400 from montreal named francois poulon de francheville and after his death she belonged to

00:27:01.340 his wife terence so slavery in new england and new france wasn't it was primarily a domestic

00:27:11.320 affairs how it's described so it's more more like house things versus like working on plantations

00:27:16.380 like what was happening in the u.s um so she has three children but they all died in infancy

00:27:23.040 the father listed in the baptismal records was jacques caesar a black slave from madagascar

00:27:28.440 who belonged to ignace gamelin who is a friend of angelique's owner notably it is not known if

00:27:36.260 these two were lovers by choice or whether they were forced by their owners to have children

00:27:39.960 so angelique also had a lover who was a white laborer who is an indentured servant from france

00:27:47.160 called claude thibault december 1733 angelique asked her mistress for her freedom um but madame 0.85

00:27:53.280 de francheville denied this infuriated angelique who went quote on a small reign of terror in the

00:27:58.580 household so this is from a book called the hanging of angelique spoiler who says she talked back to

00:28:06.300 her owner threatened her with death by roasting quarreled with other servants in the house

00:28:10.080 threatened them too with burning and made life so unbearable for her fellow servant merlise 0.95

00:28:14.380 marie louise poray that she quit her job so um being unhappy so her mistress sold angelique to

00:28:23.760 francois etienne cuniette of quebec city for 600 pounds of gunpowder she was waiting for the ice

00:28:30.200 to thaw on the saint lawrence river in order to send angelique by boat do you notice canadian

00:28:33.880 history has a lot of like cold weather related things it does so it was rumored that he was

00:28:38.780 going to in turn sell angelique into enslavement in the west indies upon hearing news that of her

00:28:44.280 sale angelique threatened to burn down her mistress's house with her in it soon after 0.99

00:28:49.380 angelique ran away with thibault that's the white lover so they set fire to angelique's they 0.99

00:28:56.440 allegedly set fire to angelique's bed um at the house where she'd been staying and fled in the

00:29:03.340 direction of new england where they hope to catch a ship bound for europe two weeks later

00:29:06.580 they were tracked down by police she was returned to her owner to await transportation to quebec city

00:29:12.000 and thibault is sent to jail once she returned to montreal angelique continued to state she would

00:29:16.660 burn down her mistress's house because she wanted to be free then on the evening of saturday april 0.90

00:29:22.040 10th 1734 a large portion of montreal like the city of montreal the merchant's quarter was

00:29:28.040 destroyed by fire at least 46 buildings mainly homes were burnt plus a convent and hospital of

00:29:33.800 the hotel dieu de montreal angelique was accused of starting the fire and arrested by police on

00:29:38.520 april 11th she was taken to court she's charged with arson um then the french legal system at

00:29:43.420 this time the accused was presumed guilty there were no trials by jury um lawyers were banned

00:29:49.440 from practicing in the colony so she's 29 years old and she was brought up on trial so it was

00:29:54.900 one of the most spectacular trials to come out of 18th century canada over 24 witnesses were called

00:30:00.120 including a five-year-old girl and they all stated that they believed she had set the fire because at

00:30:04.260 one point or another she told them that she would so she's found guilty and sentenced to death by

00:30:09.480 having her hands cut off and then to be burned alive but then this was appealed and so instead 0.56

00:30:14.740 she would be tortured hanged and then her body burned and then she was executed so they tortured

00:30:20.700 her until she confessed to it but this is the thing so like she burned the bed and then there's

00:30:26.020 this big fire in montreal and they're like guess it was her so she was like this is where it's all

00:30:29.500 alleged right it is possible that she did not set the fire but she made an ideal scapegoat for the

00:30:35.380 crime she's black enslaved poor and a foreigner so in every aspect was a social outcast and also

00:30:41.300 she had been um you know asking to be freed and stuff so her owner was mad at her she had no rights 0.85

00:30:46.820 at all but so it potentially she was framed for all of this but on the other hand she might have

00:30:52.880 set the fire because she had many grievances she kept trying to escape and she had apparently

00:30:57.200 told numerous people that she was going to do this so centuries later she has become a symbol

00:31:02.360 of black resistance and freedom so that's another canadian heroine and then marie marguerite rose

00:31:11.680 was born in guinea and then she she was sold into enslavement and then she's purchased by

00:31:19.540 a french naval officer posted in louisbourg which is in was in new france so like in what is now

00:31:25.940 cape breton and nova scotia in canada so she was given a french name so we just know her by this

00:31:31.520 name marie marguerite rose so she was around 19 years old at this time and then for the next 19

00:31:38.620 years she performed domestic duties for this household which included up to 12 children during

00:31:43.580 this time she was pregnant we don't know who the father is and she had a son called jean francois

00:31:48.740 who was also born into slavery he died age 13 so the thing with lewisburg is that so it's still

00:31:58.520 like a living history museum that i love in neva scotia so it was a french military colony and

00:32:05.060 then the english attacked it and it fell so in 1745 so at that point marie and her son along with

00:32:10.560 the family that they worked for moved to france and then in 1749 so four years later they returned

00:32:16.420 to lewisburg so the english took it over but then the french won it back so she was freed 0.89

00:32:21.580 in 1755 at which point she married jean-pierre laurent a migma man which is an indigenous group

00:32:28.540 in Nova Scotia then she and her husband rented a house and they began a tavern in Lewisburg so

00:32:35.760 Lewisburg being a military base you know there's lots of men there who want to hang on a tavern

00:32:39.600 obviously so their tavern had a diverse clientele but then she died only two years after being

00:32:45.160 freed she's buried at the fortress of Lewisburg after her death an inventory was taken

00:32:49.460 which showed that she had an extensive collection of used clothing and a pair of half-made woolen

00:32:54.380 stockings her other possessions were balls of handmade soap and iron supplies for dying clothes

00:32:59.120 six pounds of sugar and a cookbook despite her inability to read apparently another canadian 0.75

00:33:05.140 heroine is rose fortune was a child born in or around philadelphia of runaway slaves in 1774

00:33:13.440 her parents became black loyalists during the american revolution so that's like they're

00:33:19.240 fighting on the like british side so they pledged to fight on that side in exchange for their

00:33:24.280 freedom so when she was around 10 rose fortune was around approximately 3 000 black loyalists

00:33:30.460 who sailed from new york city to nova scotia uh which was the where a lot of the current modern

00:33:36.180 day black um people in nova scotia that's who their ancestors were so she had at least three

00:33:42.420 children and is thought to have been married twice at around 50 years of age she began a business

00:33:46.880 transporting luggage in a wheelbarrow from the ferry docks to hotels and houses by the early

00:33:51.820 1840s she was using horse-drawn carriages to convey the luggage she became the first female 0.99

00:33:56.600 police officer in north america when she instituted and forced curfews to keep the

00:34:00.720 streets safe at night so she was just like it's not like she went to police academy okay police

00:34:05.420 officer she just like started like um enforcing rules on her own because that's what she wanted

00:34:13.340 to do she's remembered for her business sense strength and courage um emily carr is another

00:34:20.860 notable canadian woman so she was an artist born in 1871 um she did not receive widespread

00:34:29.480 recognition for her work initially so a lot of what she painted first were um the lands and the

00:34:36.860 like totem poles and things of the indigenous people the pacific northwest coast people at

00:34:41.380 the time weren't into those paintings then she switched to doing um landscapes and forest scenes

00:34:46.700 And then people kind of liked her, her painting sold a bit better.

00:34:50.440 So although she is now considered a Canadian legend, she was a famous eccentric at the time.

00:34:56.800 So she had a lot of pets.

00:34:58.920 She had a beat up old pram, like a stroller that she would take around downtown Victoria,

00:35:04.760 which is like on Vancouver Island on the West coast of Canada.

00:35:08.000 And in her pram would be dogs, cats, birds.

00:35:10.620 And she also had a pet monkey named Woo, who she had adopted in 1923.

00:35:14.920 um and there's a really cute statue of her in victoria and woo the monkey is there with her

00:35:21.360 along with one of her dogs whose name is billy and then finally viola desmond was born in 1914

00:35:28.440 um she's in nova scotia as well so in 1946 she i think she was a hairstylist anyway she went to

00:35:37.320 a movie theater and she bought a ticket for the like main floor of the movie theater but black

00:35:42.020 people were supposed to sit in the balcony she refused to leave the whites only area of this 1.00

00:35:46.380 theater she offered to pay more money to buy a more expensive seat like to stay in that same 1.00

00:35:52.080 section anyway eventually she was convicted of a minor tax violation for the one cent tax difference 1.00

00:35:58.120 between the seat she had paid for and the seat she used which was more expensive but it was just 0.99

00:36:02.220 bullshit to arrest her because she was black anyway she is one of the most publicized incidents

00:36:06.660 of racial discrimination in canadian history and helped start the modern civil rights movement in 0.98

00:36:11.040 canada and now she is on the ten dollar bill in canada so tiffany asks what historical figure

00:36:18.140 would you want to talk or drink with and i've answered who i want to talk to but i haven't

00:36:24.220 answered who do i want to drink with let me look at my list here because that's a whole other
