Ep. 46 Van Buren Sisters vs the Pants Police
Maria is making like Han and flying solo this week covering the Van Buren sisters! The Van Buren sisters wanted to prove that women were capable of aiding in the War efforts by riding on their motorbikes across the country. Not only were they fighting for the right to vote and serve their country but also to wear pants…! Addie and Gussie Van Buren were pulled over multiple times on their historical ride because it was illegal for women to wear pants
