20. We
interview Dr. Christina Vella about Micaela Leonarda Antonia Almonester, Baroness de Pontalba (November 6, 1795 - April 20, 1874). If you haven't heard her fascinating story yet, you do know her work. Perhaps the most iconic location in Louisiana is Jackson Square; she and her father we commissioned all the buildings around the square. First, the Baroness had to endure years of domestic abuse, survive an attempt on her life, and set a legal precedent for getting a separation as a recourse for an abusive marriage. Join us for part 1 of our interview.
