Welcome to Bitchy History: Where History Gets Personal, Political, and Hilariously Honest
Tired of the same dry, sanitized versions of history? So are we. Bitchy History is your go-to Substack for unapologetically sharp takes on the past—and how it’s still screwing with us today.
From forgotten trailblazers to the cultural messes that shape our politics, every post, podcast, and newsletter connects the dots between history, pop culture, and the dumpster fire of current events. Whether it’s unpacking the gender politics of I Love Lucy, examining Cold War culture through music, or asking why the U.S. still can’t elect a woman president, we’re here to make you laugh, think, and maybe rage-quit patriarchy (again).
💥 What You’ll Get:
Deep dives into women’s history, cultural memory, and political hypocrisy
Snarky, smart commentary that blends historical expertise with modern sass
Subscriber exclusives like the Retro Review, putting today’s news in historical context
Limited series on topics like the sociopolitical history of Star Trek (yes, really)
This is history with teeth—irreverent, intersectional, and fiercely feminist. Subscribe now and join the conversation, because the future is female…but so is the past.
