Earlier this week, several legendary female artists–including Cher, Mary J. Blige and Big Mama Thornton–were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But despite this recognition, the history of women in popular music has always been marked by struggle. How Women Made Music, a new book from NPR Music and edited by Alison Fensterstock, centers and celebrates that radical history by compiling archival interviews, essays and images from the past 50 years. In today's episode, NPR's Ann Powers talks with NPR's Scott Detrow about the multi-platform project that inspired the book and how female artists have changed history by making revolutionary music–not just by telling their stories.

In the late 13th century, the Mongol Empire was at the peak of its power. 

It was at this time that the Mongol Emperor of China, Kublai Khan, set his eyes on the islands of Japan. 

On two separate occasions, the Mongols assembled the largest amphibious fleet in world history. Both times, they discovered the limits of their military conquests.

Learn more about the Mongol invasions of Japan on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Owen Han used to work in hospitals, but his life changed in 2020 when his father died. Motivated by his late father's encouragement to pursue his passions, Han started posting food content on TikTok. He shared recipes for dishes inspired by his Italian and Chinese heritage, like his grandmother's shrimp toast. Since then, Han has become known for his creative twists on classic sandwiches–and fittingly, sandwiches are the focus of his new cookbook, 'Stacked.' In today's episode, Han joins NPR's Scott Simon to talk about his expansive definition of a sandwich and how ASMR has inspired his approach to texture.

John J. Miller is joined by Caleb Franz to discuss his new book, 'The Conductor.'

After the founding of Rome as a city in the 8th century BC, it created a social system based on an elite few and a majority of commoners. 

This social arrangement wasn’t unique to Rome, and it has appeared in cultures and civilizations around the world.

However, Rome was one of the first cultures to experience a conflict between these classes and for the commoners to win major concessions. 

Learn more about the Conflict of the Orders and the battle between Plebeians and Patricians on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Approximately every eleven years, our sun experiences a cycle in which its magnetic poles flip. During this cycle, solar flares and sunspot activity increase, and then the sun returns to a state of relative calm. 

These solar cycles have been tracked for over two hundred years and are among the best-recorded aspects of solar astronomy.

These extremes, known as the solar maximum and solar minimum, affect the sun and can have implications for the Earth. 

Learn more about the solar cycle and the ebbing and flowing of the sun on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
