For women’s history month, Courtney and Emily immersed themselves in the stories of the working women of the Walt Disney Animation studio during its classic and golden age. Often the story of women in the early days of Disney Animation begins in Ink and Paint, but author Nathalia Holt instead focused on the more male dominated work spaces like the story, concept art, and animation departments. Moved by the tribulations and triumphs of Bianca Majoli, Grace Huntington, Retta Scott, Sylvia Holland, and Mary Blair, Courtney and Emily reflect on the legacy of these women who were integral to the Disney animated features beloved today.  Review Book of the Mouse Club on iTunes and Google Play and send any questions, comments, or suggestions to the hosts at bookofthemouseclub@gmail.com Follow Our Reading Journey On Social Media!Official Twitter and Instagram: @BookoftheMouseCourtney: Instagram @greatguthsby and Twitter @Courtney_GuthEmily: Instagram and Twitter @emily_mickde  Support a Woman-Owned Small Business, Match Making Librarian:  Order here: https://www.matchmakinglibrarian.com/  Instagram @matchmakinglibrarianTikTok @matchmaking_librarian  Tomorrow Society Podcast Episode #94 Nathalia Holt on The Queens of Animatio‪n
