A Simple Herstory is a groundbreaking—Telly Award-winning and Webby-honored—multi-platform audio fiction exploration of the 100+ women who have run for President of the United States. Sections of Season 2 revolve around the life and times of Margaret Chase Smith who ran for President in 1964. She was a member of the Republican Party and the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. While it is an audio drama, Season 2 borrows from 20th-century film styles to create a complex portrait of the Senator from Maine, challenging preconceived notions, historical facts, and our perceptions of American culture.
