In this episode, 8-year old Emelina asks if men were more important than women in the past, leading to an absolutely awesome discussion about how our own ideas, our own biases, and even the words that we use influence our understanding about the past. It's a discussion that touches on sexism and stereotypes and why empowering more women in science is essential for understanding a fuller, more accurate human story.
