Jacey Powers joins Melissa on the mic to tell a story about her favorite fictional woman. Jacey is an actor, writer, mixologist, and the creator of the most amazing YouTube series ever, Feminist Cocktail Hour. Melissa tells the life story of Jacqueline Cochran, a famous female aviator that made history when she broke the sound barrier in 1953. Jacqueline was fierce, talented, and business savvy but many considered her a villain. Jacey tells the insane and hilarious story about the creation of the world's most popular fashion doll, Barbie. Barbie's backstory includes themes of sex addiction, fraud, and suicide but her rocky past could never overshadow the entrepreneurial and independent spirit of this perpetually single woman!
