“Excellent podcast with insightful hosts.
I've only just started listening to it, so I know few of the women they showcase, but I loved the episodes about the Handmaid's Tale.
(However I have to admit I find the theme song absolutely unbearable.)
Totally recommend!”Read full review »

“Love the show! I love hearing about all these awesome women that are so underrepresented in history. Love getting the contextual information about the period of history they lived in. I have learned so much and it doesn’t feel like a history lesson at all. And I’m so thrilled that Hilma af...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast so much! The stories are so interesting and so far (I’m only on episode 10) most of the women I have never heard of. A side note, I’m currently listening to the Anne Bonny episode and I got so excited over it because it’s the first deviant woman that I knew of! I did a...”Read full review »

“I love these women! Very very well researched and so easy to listen to. Working my way through the back catalogue as late to the party. They tell a brilliant story, stay on point and don’t waffle about other stuff like so many other podcasters do. Big fan”

“Great selections for role models. Lame conclusions. My 13 year old daughter is looking for inspiration, all you give her is the patriarchy as an excuse for low self-esteem. 150,000 years to get to germ theory dismissed by “ dirty doctor hands?” Come on, you want young girls to look at their...”Read full review »
