<p>“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” Well, that is the embodiment of Imelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the Philippines, and Marie Antoinette, the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. You probably know these women’s stories, so you may not see it at first, but these women share a common narrative of luxury, influence, and eventual downfall. While they lived in different times and countries, their lives existed in a strangely coincidental parallel. Today on Found Objects, we will look at the lives and legacies of these powerful women in history and examine just how much their stories overlap. </p><p><br></p><p>FOLLOW US ON IG:</p><p><a href="http://Instagram.com/foundobjectspodcast" rel="nofollow">Instagram.com/foundobjectspodcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>SOURCES:</p><p>Bicker, Laura. “Philippines Martial Law: The Fight to Remember a Decade of Arrests and Torture.” <em>BBC News</em>, BBC, 28 Sept. 2022, www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-63056898.</p><p>de Guzman, Chad. “How Imelda Became the Philippines’ Most Enduring Marcos.” <em>Time</em>, Time, 27 July 2023, time.com/6298212/here-lies-love-imelda-marcos-legacy/.</p><p>“Five Things to Know about Martial Law in the Philippines.” <em>Amnesty International</em>, 21 Sept. 2022, www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/04/five-things-to-know-about-martial-law-in-the-philippines/.</p><p>History.com Editors. “Marie‑Antoinette ‑ Children, Death & Husband.” <em>History.Com</em>, A&E Television Networks, 21 Aug. 2018, www.history.com/topics/european-history/marie-antoinette.</p><p>Malach, Hannah. “The Infamous Life of Imelda Marcos: The Bulletproof Bra, 1,000 Pairs of Shoes and Biographical Broadway Musical of the Philippines’ Former First Lady.” <em>WWD</em>, WWD, 21 July 2023, wwd.com/pop-culture/culture-news/who-is-imelda-marcos-1235749455/.</p><p>Ray, Michael. “Imelda Marcos.” <em>Encyclopædia Britannica</em>, Encyclopædia Britannica, inc., 22 Aug. 2024, www.britannica.com/biography/Imelda-Marcos.</p><p>“Research Guides: France: Women in the Revolution: Marie Antoinette.” <em>Marie Antoinette - France: Women in the Revolution - Research Guides at Library of Congress</em>, 2024, guides.loc.gov/women-in-the-french-revolution/marie-antoinette.</p><p>Swartz, Mimi. “The Autocratic Allure of Imelda Marcos.” <em>The New Yorker</em>, 12 Apr. 1998, www.newyorker.com/magazine/1998/04/20/imelda-marcos-tears-profile-philippines.</p><p>“‘Facts’ About Marie Antoinette That Weren’t True.” <em>Weird History</em>, YouTube, 10 Jan. 2024, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJYCy4ypK7c.

<p>Meet William James Sydis, the “smartest man who lived.” Sydis’ IQ score is estimated by some, to be somewhere between 50 and 100 points greater than that of Albert Einstein. By the time he was just 18 months old, Sydis was able to read The New York Times. At age 2, he taught himself Latin, and by age 6, he was fluent in eight languages, including Greek, French, Russian, German, and Hebrew. Sidis is not a household name, but he was an extraordinary individual whose brilliance often went unnoticed. Let’s explore the life of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood prodigies of the 20th century, along with Albert Einstein, and the history of IQ testing. It’s a battle of the brains today on Found Objects podcast.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow us on Instagram:</p><p>Instagram.com/katybellotte</p><p><br></p><p>SOURCES:</p><p><br></p><p>Albert Einstein – Biographical.
