The Valiant Ladies of Potosi
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH Y’ALL! Well it’s June and that means it’s time for us to cover women in LGBTQ+ history who you may or may not have heard of. Not that we save those stories for June specifically, we aren’t every other corporation in America here, but I think in June it’s nice to focus specifically on those in history who were part of the LGBTQ+ community but otherwise may remain unknown or heard about. So, who are we talking about this episode? Well, that would be The Valiant Ladies of Potosi, the sword an gun toting lesbian teen vigilantes who became 2 of Peru’s favorite folk heroines.
