About this listen

 "

Please note: contains strong language and adult content.

To The Woman is Audible UK's flagship podcast series for International Women's Day 2019.

Hosted by National Book Award winner, Sunday Times best-selling author, activist and broadcaster Scarlett Curtis, this series celebrates extraordinary women of the world through a series of intimate letters to themselves and each other. Mothers, life-long friends or the women we are yet to meet: the show celebrates the idiosyncrasies, ideals, and intimacies of shared womanhood.

Beginning with a simple prompt, "To the woman..." penned by Scarlett herself, these episodes bloom into a larger narrative of love, friendship and a celebration of women.

The podcast has been produced by multi-award winning documentary maker Hana Walker-Brown.

This is an Audible Original Podcast. Free for members. You can download all 5 episodes to your Library now.

Listened back to back as I was enjoying it so much. Loved how each episode had a different theme and they were all so different but complemented eahh other perfectly.

Beautifully executed series

...if there had been a few more stories that balanced it out a bit. for example, coming from a home where a women, my mum, withheld affection and was (is) and alcoholic, I'd have liked to have heard more stories in the first episode where the mother/daughter relationship WASN'T perfect and where love doesn't prosper but where strong women resulted regardless. I liked hearing the other episodes though, especially the letters to myself and the letters to future women. it gave me a lot to think about. At 38 years old I have a pretty good idea who I am and where I'm going, it might have been nice to hear a few more older voices speaking to their younger selves, perhaps.

There is more to explore here. I hope, if there is another series commissioned, these ideas will be developed more and we get to hear more stories of survival.

it would have been brilliant...

Hearing women speak after a lifetime of men's voices feels like exhaling. Please make more!

Audible, please consider making this a longform?

I started listening to this as a break from the computer. I continued and finished listening to this as a woman needing to hear and know more. I will listen to it all at least one more time maybe more. This should be a core text listen for everyone not just women. xx

an amazing listen
