Outside Lands Podcast Episode 597: Mary Kelly and Unsung Heroines

Inspired by Rae Alexandra's recently released book, Unsung Heroines, Drew and Nicole share the harrowing story of Mary Kelly, aka Lucretia Henkel. This relatively unknown powerhouse was an advocate for refugee rights after the 1906 earthquake and fire, and dedicated a grove in Golden Gate Park to war mothers that is now lost to time.
