BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The history segment returns to the podcast this season with an all-new series exploring the lives of REAL-LIFE GIBSON GIRLS -- the women who actually modeled for Charles Dana Gibson's illustrations!
Up first is the only woman who just might be able to claim the title of THE "Original Gibson Girl"... Gibson's own sister, Josephine! Sixteen years younger than her famous brother, she was a favorite model of Gibson's even as a child.

HAPPY 156th BIRTHDAY, DANA!!! 🥳🎉🎂🎈🎁🥂
Charles Dana Gibson was born in Roxbury, MA on September 14, 1867. This shy, modest man showed an incredible artistic aptitude from an early age, which lucky for us today his parents strongly encouraged. His pen and ink illustrations became a global phenomenon at the turn of the 20th century, and while he never approved of the term "Gibson Girl" (to him, they were always just "American Girls"), his most famous illustration changed the world, and remains the quintessential standard for 19th century femininity. We celebrate him and his work in every episode, but especially today!!
