“I absolutely love this show except for the Alice Mitchell episode, which I couldn’t even finish. Please, please stick to having historians, forensic experts, and criminal attorneys etc. on. I was so disappointed that for an episode about a lesbian couple that you chose an activist. Her commentary...”Read full review »

“While admirably trying to understand women’s sad plight a hundred years ago. The historian seems to bypass some very heinous actions in order to say women had it rough. I agree but that does not mean ignore murder and domestic abuse to a lesbian woman in order to say isn’t it too bad she didn’t...”Read full review »

“Loved this podcast when it first came out, but now I’m not going to bother. As a feminist I’m really interested in how woman are treated differently in crime/prosecution, but they talk vey flippantly about murder and pull out any excuse rather than explanation to the most horrible of crimes....”Read full review »

“Lucy Worsley is fabulous and this podcast is so interesting. The only one I couldn’t listen too is the episode set in Australia on a Mission as it Australia still feels the profound and hideous trauma of the stolen generations everywhere. Too soon for me but an important story to tell, especially...”Read full review »

“I have just listened to the episode about Princess Fahmy and the Savoy murder . Spoilt by wheeling out the tiresome reference to racism. I can not for the life of me see what it has to do with anything in the story of this murder but as usual it’s obligatory now to jump on the band waggon &...”Read full review »

“Wonderfully researched, eloquently written and superbly presented history of ‘female crimes’ that questions the facts and one’s own subconscious bias towards women in history.

Like I got the sense the host had no idea that hanging songs were a...”Read full review »

“Good but I find the life of a Victorian woman not looked at/ not described not looked at much in the school curriculum. I am a massive fan of Lucy Worsley and this is amazing! Please make more because I am so interested.”

“The idea and format really could be interesting and engaging but it doesn’t meet the mark. While we know that life for a woman 100 years ago was challenging but that doesn’t give license to kill but the presenter seems to think that being a woman allows you to kill.”
