Stories of real people who refused to play by the rules.

A podcast, a publication, a celebration.

Welcome to Unruly Figures, a podcast and publication by writer and trained historian, Valorie Clark.

This is about the rebels.

This is about the ne’er-do-wells.

This is about the mutineers, the agitators, the subversives.

Unruly Figures is a celebration of history’s biggest rule-breakers.

Twice a month, I’m going to dive into the life and times of the greatest rebels the world has known. I will talk about their lives, the society they lived in, the decisions they made, and how their refusal to play by the rules changed the world.

Join me as I nerd out and get inspired by history’s favorite risk-takers.
