The Black Widows and Peggy Carters of WWII: Sarah Rose (Author of "D-Day Girls" and Journalist)(Ep. 41)

History
Written By Taylor Bledsoe

Black Widow and Peggy Carter are two spy/assassins in the Marvel universe. They're two butt-kicking heroines who show up the male villains (and often even their comrades) with their skills and smarts. Interestingly, they have real-life counterparts. One recently declassified example is the D-Day girls of WWII. Today, we talk to the journalist and bestselling author of the "D-Day Girls," Sarah Rose, about these fascinating women. Who are they? What did they do? And, why haven't we heard of them before? So, sit back and relax because fact is stranger (and often cooler) than fiction!

Stick around for our new "Quirky Quotes" section just after the discussion!
