Welcome to HERstory, the history of Southeast Asia, told from her perspective. We’ll discover historical figures, matriarchal societies, and contemporary female icons — and maybe learn about ourselves along the way. Season 1 focuses on the Southeast Asian age of commerce up to the colonial period.
In this episode, we’ll meet Lady Chan and Lady Mook, the Heroines of Phuket, who defended the island in the Burmese–Siamese War of 1785–1786. How did two sisters come to be in charge of an island's defence? What does their memory mean to the people of Thailand?
