Bronze Ceiling is a podcast series by HerStory Maps, a citizen science project aimed at cataloging feminist memorial sites (such as statues, trees, and murals) around the world. In each episode, Marc Calvini-Lefebvre of Aix-Marseille University uncovers the stories behind these sites of remembrance through interviews with artists, activists, and historians who know them well and understand how they have managed to break through the “bronze ceiling” of public commemoration.
