Let Sandi Toksvig guide you on an eclectic meander through the calendar, illuminating neglected corners of history to tell tales of the fascinating figures you didn't learn about at school. From popes who gave birth during papal processions, to the inventor of Scrabble, to pioneering civil rights activist Ida B. Wells, who refused to give up her seat on a train decades before Rosa Parks was born. As witty and entertaining as it is instructive, this is an essential companion to each day of the year.

Treat yourself to this wonderful book. Sandi steers you through the year, and on the way you will encounter women who each in their own way have made the world a better place. Some of them you might have heard of, but most of them not. We are the stories that we tell, and history is the stories that have been told. This book inspires to change history by telling everywomans story. Thank you Sandi ❤️

Gripping, fascinating and brilliantly performed!

Wonderful learning experience. Was encouraged that someone was working to uncover the untold contributions of so many women. It is also saddening that so many talents were stolen, obscured or just omitted.
Here’s to a future where women are no longer marginalized. Thank you Sandy.

Brilliantly researched; lovingly delivered

Sandi is so witty and wonderful in everything she appears on and I was thrilled to find she'd written books. Even more chuffed to hear her narrating! Feminist fun for every day of the year plus some!

simply one of my favorite people

As Sandy says: Please be active and right the wrongs of history. A lovely pick up and set downable eclectic overview of some of the most fascinating and many of the most nearly forgotten historical figures, who happen to be women. I loved listening to this book so much that I am ordering the print copy so that I might reference those women that I truly want to know more about. (The audible trouble here being I don’t know how to spell many of the names to look their stories up online)

Thank you Sandy! I really only had picked this book because I missed seeing you host the British Baking show but I am truly glad for the sweeter gift you have given.

Please read or listen to this book!
