Empress Baddie: the World’s First Author Enheduanna

Step right up, history BFFs! Today, we're diving headfirst into the ancient Mesopotamian saga of Enheduanna, a woman who defied the odds, battled patriarchal nonsense, and penned the very first poem in recorded history. But hold onto your clay tablets, because this story's got more twists and turns than a Sumerian soap opera! Picture it: ancient Mesopotamia, where clay tablets were all the rage, and 'emojis' meant chiseling tiny pictures into your communication medium of choice. Enter Enheduanna, daughter of the big boss man, Sargon of Akkad Emperor of the first Empire. While others were busy tallying sheep and wheat stocks, Enheduanna had bigger plans – like, let's revolutionize literature, shall we? But before I spoil the whole thing press play why don't ya? 🤩App Info🤩 https://donorbox.org/for-the-love-of-history-app 💙💛Want more For the love of History?💙💛  Patreon https://www.patreon.com/fortheloveofhistorypodcast?fan_landing=true&view_as=public Instagram https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveof_historypodcast/?hl=en Website https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@4theloveofhistory Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6SjwlXC5e8uvPxXE8siyEZ?si=1f813135bad1471c Merch Store https://www.bonfire.com/store/for-the-love-of-history/ 📚You can find resources on the FTLH Website📚 https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about Learn more about your ad choices.
