b"In honor of Pride Month, we're taking every Saturday to re-release a favorite past episode featuring an incredible LGBTQ woman. Each episode will be introduced by an LGBTQ advocate or podcaster we love. Today, Charlotte Clymer is introducing Lucy Hicks Anderson (1886-1954). Lucy was an American socialite, chef, and thriving prohibition-era Madame and entrepreneur. She was also one of the earliest documented African-American transgender people in the United States."
