Episode 18: How Did America Get Here – The Romanticization of History

On today's episode of Bitchy History, we delve into the dangers of romanticizing history, specifically the history of women's lives before the women's lib movement, and how this tendency to look at history through rose-colored glasses can be used by dishonest people to create propaganda that undermines progress.

Clips in today's episode are from:

Brooklyn 99

TVOntario's The Agenda (Jordan Peterson)

The Rolling Stones (Mother's Little Helper)

NPR interview with Phyllis Schlafly (2011)
