Born in a prison cell and destined to lead a revolution, Laskarina Bouboulina wasn't your average historical icon.
In this episode of Never Heard of Her, we sail headfirst into the wild life of the ultimate maritime commander who funded her own warships, outsmarted Ottoman officials, and gave patriarchal history a proper run for its money. From her cellblock arrival to commanding an entire naval force, we uncover the hidden history of a true legend. Tune in for the epic battle tales, stay for the chaotic family feuds, and find out how Laskarina Bouboulina dominates our official Badass Scale!
