Doña Manuela Sáenz de Vergara y Aizpuru was the illegitimate daughter of Spanish nobility in Quito (in modern day Ecuador). Side by side with Simón Bolívar, she was instrumental in Spanish colonies emancipating themselves from Spain. Following Simón's death, Manuela wound up with money problems in Perú. Since the 20th century, South American feminists have reclaimed her legacy and today, she is widely beloved all over South America as their beloved Manuelita.Support Vulgar History on Patreon Get merch at http://vulgarhistory.store - use code TITSOUT for free U.S. shipping or TITSOUT10 for 10% off your orderReferences:WikipediaFor Glory and Bolivar by Pamela S.

In the second part of the saga of Queen Min, we see her extremely competently take control of the Joseon kingdom during a wildly chaotic period in time. China, Japan, Russia, and the US are all at play here and Min has to try and play them all off one another to try and prevent Joseon from falling to any. Meanwhile the father in law from hell, Daewongun, is STILL trying to get rid of her; some of her enemies realize they can manipulate her husband (the literal King) Gojong; she evades at least two major assassination attempts; she kind of rises from the dead; and does she let these things stop her; NO!! (until one of these things sadly does stop her; but does that let Gojong let that be the end of her story; NO!!!)Support Vulgar History on Patreon at patreon.com/annfosterwriterGet merch at http://vulgarhistory.store - use code TITSOUT for free U.S. shipping or TITSOUT10 for 10% off your orderReferences:Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World Historyhttps://www.factinate.com/people/facts-queen-min/amp/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/culture/2015/10/323_70902.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Myeongseonghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep_eIppXwT0&t=601shttps://legacyweb.philamuseum.org/doc_downloads/education/JoseonResourceBook.pdfhttps://www.koreasociety.org/images/pdf/KoreanStudies/Curriculum_Materials/LessonbyTime/3_GoryeoJoseon/JoseonDynastyandWomensRights-CustomandLaw_Cerulo_Beth.pdfhttps://www.thoughtco.com/the-joseon-dynasty-in-korea-195719https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_acUrSV0Bi0 Learn more about your ad choices.

Marguerite Steinheil was a French woman in the 19th century who was embroiled in two pretty tabloid-adjacent deaths: the sex death of the French President, and then the gruesome murder of her husband and mother. She was THE moment in France when all this happened, but so many scandales happened later on that she's been largely forgotten UNTIL NOW!!Sarah Horowitz, this week's guest, wrote a book all about Marguerite's scandalicious life, called RED WIDOW: THE SCANDAL THAT SHOOK PARIS AND THE WOMAN BEHIND IT. Who better to share this story that Sarah herself!
