Hedy Lamarr

This week, for a very special one-hour FINAL episode of Feministory (cue the tears), we meet Austrian-American actress and inventor, Hedy Lamarr. Our girl Hedy was not only a star on the screen, but an inventor behind the scenes. Whilst starring in over 25 films and stage shows, Hedy was key in the development of frequency hopping technology, which soon dubbed her the ‘Mother of Wi-Fi’.

In this special episode, we also go over our TOP 5 episodes from our 46-episode series:
1. Agrippina the Younger
2. Marie Curie
3. Rosa Parks
4. Edith Cowan
5. Empress Dowager Cixi

Great Women make Great History.
