We've got a fabulous 2023 recap episode brewing, but it's not ready yet, so today we revisit our (one and only) New Year's Broad: Betsy Ross! That's right - Betsy Ross was born on January 1st.
You may already know that Betsy Ross designed the first American Flag. But did you know that she increased sewing efficiency by switching from a 6-pointed star to a 5-pointed star, making it possible to create the stars with a single snip? Or that she was disowned by her Quaker family for marrying a man who was non-Quaker? Her life surrounding the creation of the flag was rife with tragedy, making her even more of a Broad You Should Know.
