About this listen

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.

I’ve always liked Sandi but I loved this book. It is full of incredible ladies from history and must have taken a huge amount of research to put together. It’s interesting and funny and I can’t recommend it enough.
