#47 - Lillian Frances Smith

This is about the rebels. This is about the ne’er-do-wells. This is about the mutineers, the agitators, the subversives. Unruly Figures is a celebration of history’s biggest rule-breakers. Twice a month, I’m going to dive into the life and times of the greatest rebels the world has known. I will talk about their lives, the society they lived in, the decisions they made, and how their refusal to play by the rules changed the world. Join me as I nerd out and get inspired by history’s favorite risk-takers.
