22 In front Of Every Great Women, There's a Man Blocking The View.

Hello and welcome to today's corner of calm, as Sandi invites you to retreat with her to her room of books, where past lives of some great and (almost always overlooked) women are being brought into the spotlight.  In this episode, we learn why we have Walt Disney's wife Lillian to thank for the most iconic cartoon character of all-time, that Alma Hitchcock's keen eye for detail saved her husband's film 'Psycho' from being a laughingstock and that in sacrificing her own career, artist Lee Krasner ensured her husband was to become a household name.  Plenty to meditate on there ... although Sandi's not really a fan of that particular practice...books are far less stressful. So, sit back, close your eyes and remember ... We Will Get Past This.
