## Resource

What keeps progress alive when the odds feel impossible? In this episode of The Persistence , host Angélica Cordero unravels stories of bold resilience that have shaped history—from Enheduanna, the first-known author who wielded her words to assert power, to Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party, an unapologetic celebration of women’s achievements. Along the way, we explore how oral traditions and collective action have kept the flame of progress burning through the centuries. Tune in for a vibrant mix of history and insight that proves persistence isn’t just a virtue—it’s the force that keeps progress alive. This episode was written by and produced by Angélica Cordero, with a little help from ChatGPT. Our theme song is Don’t Kid Yourself Baby by Fold , used with their blessings. Podcast artwork for The Persistence features Mexican-American activist Jovita Idar and was created by Tamra Collins of Sunroot Studio .
