Violent Femme Podcast
Episode 1 of Series II is out now!
Boudicca: Avenging Celtic Queen
History is filled with hellbent heroines whose stories have yet to be told. We’re going to resurrect them, one brutally brave woman, one episode at a time. We began with Series I, covering Tomyris, Ching Shih, Stephanie St. Clair, and Phoolan Devi in the fall of 2021. This spring you will hear the extraordinary stories of Boudicca, Ranavalona, Commandante Ramona, and Olga of Kyiv in Series II. Their stories are important whether you consider them villains, heroes, or both.

About the Podcast
Violent Femme is a narrative podcast about women in history who were brave, bold, and ingenious, yet are mostly remembered for their brutality or villainy, if at all. Each episode will resurrect one of history’s brutally brave women whose image has been tarnished or even erased by those who fear such women but have long been entrusted with our history. Violent Femme will retell and sometimes reimagine history from the heroine’s perspective. This is herstory.
Violent Femme is a production of HaiBrau Entertainment. It is written and hosted by Rahaleh Nassri. Original Music by Ryan Rumery. Some characters depicted are fictional and some scenes and dialogue are invented for creative and storyline purposes.
