About this listen
Die Geschichte einer klugen Frau, die das Weltgeschehen entscheidend prägte und doch eine Unbekannte blieb - Clementine Churchill:
Marie Benedict ist eine Meisterin darin, den vergessenen Frauen der Weltgeschichte endlich Leben einzuhauchen. Wie ist es nur möglich, dass wir nichts über die emanzipierte Frau an Winston Churchills Seite wissen? Vorhang auf für die bewundernswerte Clementine Churchill.
Clementine und Winston Churchill fühlen sich sofort zueinander hingezogen, sind sie doch beide Kinder von unzulänglichen Müttern. Sie finden Sicherheit in ihrer Ehe und bekommen zusammen nicht nur fünf Kinder, sondern gestalten auch gemeinsam Winstons beispiellose Karriere. Cat und Pug, wie sie einander liebevoll nennen, meistern fast jede politische Krise gemeinsam, auch wenn Clementine ihren Mann hin und wieder vor wütenden Frauenrechtlerinnen oder Verehrerinnen retten muss. Die beiden sind ein wahres Power Couple, obwohl Clementine wegen ihres "unweiblichen" Charakters kritisiert wird. In der Tat stellt sie ihre Fähigkeiten als Mutter infrage, da sie weit mehr Leidenschaft für ihre Arbeit aufbringt als für die Kindererziehung.
Winston Churchills Einsatz an der Front im Ersten Weltkrieg, der Tod der zweijährigen Tochter Marigold, Winstons Kampf gegen die Nazis und schließlich die triumphale Rückkehr ins Unterhaus bilden das Gerüst dieses Romans über eine außergewöhnliche Ehe, bei der mal wieder eine starke Frau hinter ihrem Mann steht und die Geschicke klug zu lenken weiß.

Story
In 1909, Clementine steps off a train with her new husband, Winston. An angry woman emerges from the crowd to attack, shoving him in the direction of an oncoming train. Just before he stumbles, Clementine grabs him by his suit jacket. This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies.

Story
Rosalind Franklin has always been an outsider - brilliant, but different. Whether working at the laboratory she adored in Paris or toiling at a university in London, she feels closest to the science, those unchanging laws of physics and chemistry that guide her experiments. When she is assigned to work on DNA, she believes she can unearth its secrets. Rosalind knows if she just takes one more X-ray picture - one more after thousands - she can unlock the building blocks of life.

Story
Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

Story
Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side, understanding more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.

Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.
