Let Them Fight: A Comedy History Podcast - A podcast by Jacob Trimmer and Tim Groeschel - Tuesdays
What's this? Another Russian woman who winds up being a badass soldier? They really do breed 'em different over there. Maria Bochkareva was inspired by the kickoff of World War 1 to well, go to war. Where she saw the men faltering and decided, "Well, women will do it then." And she put in some serious work. Unfortunately, if you know anything about what happened in Russia around the end of WW1, you know this ain't exactly headed for a happy ending. But enjoy!
