58: Guinina




Femlore Podcast (formally Feminist Folklore) show

Summary: Welcome to problematic central! Next stop this story. This week, Rachael tells us the story of Guinina, a Taino woman from Puerto Rico who falls in love with a conquistador named Don Christobal de Sotomayer (real dude, BTW). Things don't go too well for the couple and they follow the path of another tragic couple before them. This is pretty problematic, so get ready listener!  To donate to the charity that Rachael mentioned; ICNA relief go here: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16224&from=HotTopic-Grouped&fromlistid=281.
