From Skirts to Scrubs
From Skirts to Scrubs began as most good ideas do…with a 1 AM phone call
Before Charlotte Thill and Alesha Kotian started medical school, they were just two regular best friends. It was during quarantine in 2020 that one night, Charlotte called Alesha with an idea: to start a podcast that brought together their backgrounds in history and gender studies, and tell stories with a feminist twist. They called the podcast “From Skirts to Scrubs” to symbolize the transition from women wearing skirts and living within prescribed gender roles to their entry into medicine as healthcare providers.

Ep. 77 There She Goes: Unpacking the Cool Girl Trope – From Skirts To Scrubs
In this episode, we're diving back into our feminist theory era and analyzing the "cool girl." You know her (some of you love her, some hate her). She's effortlessly hot, low-maintenance, "one of the guys", and seems to never ask for anything. The term blew up after the movie Gone Girl was released in the 2000s, but the trope is still everywhere. Check out this episode to find out more about the origin of the trope, examples today, and why ultimately, being the "cool girl" is actually impossible to attain. She's the it girl so many people want to be and yet, should she be?
