Episode 15: Mary Ware Dennett and Typhoid Mary
Lynn tells us about Mary Coffin Ware Dennett. An American women's rights activist, pacifist, homeopathic advocate, and pioneer in the areas of birth control, sex education, and women's suffrage.
Rose tells us about Typhoid Mary who spread Typhoid all over New York as a cook. She was given a chance to find a new career, but she didn't follow the rules and was forced to spend her life in isolation.
