159: Sam Maggs

Sam Maggs, author of A FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY: A Handbook
for Geek Girls and WONDER WOMEN: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and
Trailblazers Who Changed History, talks about her most recent
book, GIRL SQUADS, a non-fiction collection of 20 female
friendships that changed history. Sam shares the Google search
that kicked off the new book, the surprising (and alarming)
stories she stumbled on while researching GIRL SQUADS, and
deploying her pronunciation skills for the audiobook.
