Today we've got our live show from our recent East Coast tour, all about Anne Royall. She was a travel writer and a muckraking journalist way before Theodore Roosevelt coined that term, at a time when there were very few women doing either of those jobs.
Special thanks to The Arts at the Armory in Somerville, Massachusetts where we recorded this show.
