SPEAKER_11: We're currently gearing up for a brand new season of Womanica. Until then, we're bringing you our favorite episodes featuring villains, troublemakers, magic, and mystery in honor of October. Now, onto the episode. ["Womanica Theme Song"]
SPEAKER_03: Hello. From Wonder Media Network, I'm Sarah Schlead, a production assistant here at WMN. I'm so excited to be able to be here and I'm so excited to be introducing this best of episode of Womanica. This episode was originally part of our August 2019 theme, Villanesses. Our Womanican today was a legendary criminal, gang leader, and river pirate in New York City. I really like this episode because it highlights such a scrappy and adventurous figure in NYC's history. Now, here's host Jenny Kaplan to talk about Sadie the goat.
SPEAKER_11: Not much is known about the particulars of Sadie's youth, but Sadie Farrell was an Irish American who lived in mid-19th century New York City. She's believed to have lived in New York's Fourth Ward, which was located around what's today known as the Financial District. The Fourth Ward had serious sanitation issues and a crime problem. In 1865, the Citizens Association of New York published a report on sanitation and public health in the city. Of the Fourth Ward, the report said, "'There are more than 400 families in this district whose homes can only be reached by wading through a disgusting deposit of filthy refuse.'" Sadie was a colorful character in the area. She earned her nickname because when she came across travelers walking solo, she headbutted them in the stomach like a goat, while an accomplice fired a slingshot at the victim and robbed them. One anecdote that's made its way prominently into the folklore surrounding Sadie involved a longtime feud with a woman named Gallus Mag. Gallus Mag was a tough, six-foot-tall female bouncer. Her signature move was to bite off the ear of troublemakers. Most of the time, that meant she was biting off the ears of men, but Mag didn't necessarily discriminate. And in the midst of a major bar fight, Mag bit off Sadie's ear. Sadie fled the area and ventured to the west side of Manhattan. Story goes that Sadie was walking the docks on the west side in the spring of 1869, when she saw members of the Charlton Street gang attempt to board a small ship anchored in the river. They were unsuccessful against the ship's crew. Sadie offered to help and became the gang's leader. Days later, she successfully led efforts to steal a bigger ship. Thus, Sadie and her crew's pirating careers began. They sailed the Hudson and Harlem Rivers, going as far north as Poughkeepsie and Albany, New York. The gang wreaked havoc under Sadie's leadership, raiding villages, robbing houses, and kidnapping for ransom. Local newspapers at the time said that Sadie made several male prisoners walk the plank. The gang's strategy worked for several months before the tides of fortune changed. Farmers in the Hudson Valley began to fight back. Whenever Sadie and the Charlton Street gang landed, the farmers would open fire. When the locals won, the pirates disbanded and returned to their previous haunts. Sadie went back to the fourth ward, where she was deemed queen of the waterfront. It's believed that she made a truce with Gallus Mag, and Gallus Mag gave Sadie her ear back. Mag had been keeping it displayed in a jar on the bar. The tale goes that Sadie kept the ear in a locket and wore it around her neck for the rest of her life. Sadie the goat was referenced in many historical novels and was part of the basis for the character Hellcat Maggie in the movie, Gangs of New York.

SPEAKER_08: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling for everyone. For example, Juan's. As he drifts away to Nirvana after only the first chapter, is different to Maya's. When she discovered the narrator was, in fact, the evil twin, which is also different to Noah's. Anytime the cute cyberpunk is mentioned, even though in reality, he'd be totally out of his league, from two to Amazon books, that reading feeling awaits.
