Victoria Woodhull would eventually go on to be the first woman to run for president in the United States, but how did she get started? Would you believe if we told you that by the time she ran for president she was already a retired child psychic? Yup, the Spiritual movement of the late 19th century played a huge part in the young presidential hopeful. But, it wasn't all great Vicky. But it was always interesting. Today we discuss the early years of this trailblazer and sip on a nice rum cocktail called the President. Head here to see all three episodes! Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.

You may think you're boujie, but you don't know boujie until you know Georgiana. After marrying the most eligible bachelor in the country, the Lady G becomes the Duchess G. But it's not all fashion and parties (though there is a lot of that). We pair Georgiana with an equally sweet and boozy cocktail called the Darling Duchess. Find the full show notes here: https://queenshistorypodcast.com/georgiana-cavendish-the-duchess-of-devonshire-part-1Our awesome new intro music is thanks to @1touchproduction !

We are wrapping up our Quarantine Queens series (because apparently this is just our lives now) and we thought we'd honor this series by ending it with a long time listener request. Juana of Castile aka Joanna of Castile (aka Juana la loca) (though we do NOT call her that). Join us for part 2!

You’d think by having parents known as the power couple of Europe, dubbed the “Catholic Monarchs” by the Pope himself, that life would be a bit easier for our girl, Juana of Castile. Despite a surprisingly decent upbringing and a powerful mom who had the funds to bankroll Christopher Columbus’ voyage to America, Juana’s seemingly good fortune takes a turn not too long after her marriage to Philip the Handsome, Duke of Burgundy. Although Juana and Philip’s attraction is on fire from day one, as soon as Juana gets knocked up he starts up with his mistresses. Our opinionated Scorpio rightfully doth protest and her tantrums give her a nickname we shall not repeat. Instead, we’ve opted for a Ricky Martin-inspired, cucumber-infused cocktail, La Vida Loca.   Make your own by mixing 1.5 ounces of Capelle Pisco, 0.5 ounces of Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, three-quarters of an ounce of cucumber shrub (or just blend some cucumber and stevia), three-quarters of an ounce of lime juice and then a quarter of an ounce of simple syrup. To Juana!  In this episode, you’ll also hear: How Juana is like the Pippa of the British royal family Swapping daughters in place of dowries - What could go wrong?   From crazy in love to legit emotional rollercoaster with no money  Must-listen moments: [00:24:24] It was huge, huge, huge, huge. And Juana’s like, okay, so one, I get to break away from my overbearing mother that I might not necessarily have the best relationship with. Bonus, two, I get to marry this f***ing hottie and kind of have my own life. [00:51:05] When it was the first kid and it just happened to be a daughter, the fathers usually were good sports about it. Philip was not, he didn't even pretend. He literally tells her you can pay for the upbringing of the daughters, I’ll pay when it’s a boy. [01:03:30] They don’t understand postpartum depression. They don't understand, um, hormone imbalance and stuff like that. But, um, so you just have to think about like, Yeah, of course. She is experiencing a lot of high highs and lows emotionally. Half of her family has just died.Find out more about Juana of Castile in Part 2 Queens podcast is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

To continue our journey into the lives of lesser known queens who suffered some sort of isolation, we bring you Sophia Alekseyevna of Russia. Sophie was daughter and sister to the tsars of Russia. She was the first woman to act as regent in 200 years, but not everything went according to plan. We pair this episode with a drink called the Black Russian and it is just as strong as Sophia herself!
