Welcome back as we, sadly, wrap up the story of the icon that is Selena Quintanilla. The Queen of Tejano. In this episode Selena wins a grammy, gets married and opens two boutiques. Literally everything she had worked towards her entire life was working out and she was on the brink of super stardom.

Selena Quintanilla, Queen of Tejano music, makes our little Texan hearts sing. Born in Lake Jackson, Texas in the early 1970's, little Selena became the singer of her family's band at just six years old. And once she started singing, she never stopped.

She was told that she'd never make it big because Tejano fans didn't like girl singers. And boy oh boy did she prove the boys club wrong.

We pair this episode with a delicious take on a margarita. Drink responsibly, y'all!

When we last left Grace O'Malley (aka Grainne) she was out there running the seas of Western Ireland. And in part 2... yeah not a lot has changed. Grainne has gone down in history as a formidable woman, but one that was very much nearly lost to history. So, what is it about the Pirate Queen of Ireland? What did she do that made people want to erase her from the record?

Besides.... ya know. Be a pirate?

Gráinne O'Malley (often known as Grace O'Malley) has gone down in history as The Pirate Queen. Born into the powerful, seafaring O'Malley clan in western Ireland, she took to the pirate's life at a young age. Basically, everything a woman wasn't supposed to do at the time, Gráinne was doing it.

In 2018 we first covered Alexandra Feodorovna, the last tsarina of Russia. But, after our Mathilde Kschessinska episode, we thought it might be interesting to revisit her. So, you don't need to go digging back through the back catalog.

Alex was born into German royalty. She was very loved as the favorite granddaughter of the HBIC, Queen Victoria (maybe you heard of her). In fact, Queen Victoria wanted Alex to be the next queen of England and tried to play matchmaker and marry baby Alex to her cousin, the Prince of Wales. However, this was never going to happen. Alex only had eyes for her other cousin (lots of kissin' cousins in this episode), the tsarevich of Russia, Nicholas Romanov.

As the tsarina, our girl was not popular. And she really didn't do herself any favors. Still, we find her a sympathetic figure all the same. Rasputin and all.

Mathilde Kschessinska was an iconic prima ballerina of the Russian Imperial Ballet.

She was also the scandal of St. Petersburg. Let's spill the tea.

Born into a connected dance family, Little K first met the tsarevich (the future Nicholas II of Russia) when she was 18 and oh boy she was smitten kitten. The relationship ended before she would have liked when he married the future empress, Alexandra Feodrovna. But don't feel too bad for her. Mathilde wasn't lonely long.

In her life she saw Russia go through a tumultuous time and witnessed first hand the craziness that was the Russian Revolution in 1917. She was one of the lucky ones that got out, but what was life like after leaving her home?

When we last left Margaret of Austria, she was grieving the loss of her husband, Juan the prince of Spain. At only age 20, Maggie is now back on the market as a widow. As the daughter of the Holy Roman Empire, she can't stay single long and before you know it is a wife... again.

As ruler of the Low Countries, Margaret was a formidable negotiator and diplomat, and her actions helped to shape the course of European politics for decades. She successfully maintained the peace between the Habsburgs and the French, and was instrumental in the peace negotiations between England and France in 1518. A moment in history called The Ladies Peace (because who run the world? Girls.)

Margaret's story is one of ups, downs, heartbreaks, joys, power and like so much money. She's really rich y'all. Margaret has gone down in history as one of the most influential people of the 16th century, and for really good cause.

Welcome back, as we wrap up the life of the one and only, Josephine Baker.

Josey was one of the biggest stars in the world, but when she saw injustice during the lead-up to World War II, she knew she couldn't sit by and do nothing. So, she became a spy. Josephine Baker, the spy. We like the sound of that! After World War II, Josephine Baker continued to perform and speak out against injustice. She was an important figure in the civil rights movement of the United States, In 1963, she was one of the few women to speak at the March on Washington. Personally invited by Marting Luther King Jr.

Josey's personal life also took just as many dramatic twists and turns. While she suffered personal tragedy, she also became the mother to twelve children. Josephine would later go on to be one of only six women interred in the Pantheon. Kind of a big deal.

We hope you enjoyed this episode about the later life of Josephine Baker. Here are some great sources for continued reading!
