Last year, The Wing—a network of women-focused clubs and co-working communities—launched a biannual publication by the name of 'No Man's Land' and it is now introducing an on-brand podcast of the same name.
The No Man's Land is hosted by Alexis Coe, The Wing's in-house historian, who revisits stories of "women who were too bad for your textbooks." This includes a Harlem gangstress from the 1920s who went by "Queenie," as well as 1960s LGBT activists and other women who dared to break the rules and challenge societal conventions.
This new podcast from the women’s-only club and community tie into how many women-only social clubs initially came to be in New York, as women were excluded from joining events with their male counterparts.
