Miscellaneous
In this episode, Mildred tells Lou about a Revolutionary War Era, gender non-conforming, apocalyptic prophet. Jemima Wilkinson became the Public Universal Friend in 1776, and began their career as a prophet, preaching the end of the world, while encouraging followers to eschew traditional gender roles. Were they truly a prophet sent from God, or were they a fraudster cult leader, exploiting fears of Americans during a war. music by V►LH►LL vlhll.bandcamp.com
