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, the hosts of the podcast How to Be a Girl are introducing Roberta Cowell (1918-2011). She was a war hero, race car driver, and a trans pioneer. She changed the way people think about gender identity and was the first British trans woman to undergo sex reassignment surgery."
