Publisher's Summary
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.

Sandi is such a delight. A valuable recovery of some great women of history.
Excellent structure using the calendar year.

Very interesting
Wasn’t as funny as I had hoped but still very clever and full of interesting facts and rich history about women who have achieved plenty

fascinating to listen to
this made me what to do a deep dive into so many areas. I really enjoyed this book & I think I will go back to it in a few months time & take notes of different women of history that have been forgotten or unknown. I loved that Sandi did the narration too.
