This second bonus episode of A Feminist Family History in Eight Lives features an interview with three members of the A Few Forgotten Women team: Margaret Roberts, Mandy Geary and Helen Shields. They are all experienced family historians and work with nine other women to uncover and preserve the memories of just some of those women which might otherwise be lost.

In the episode Margaret, Mandy and Helen explain the origin of the A Few Forgotten Women initiative, give some examples of their varied work and tell listeners how they can get involved in the forthcoming Forgotten Women Friday!

In the final episode of A Feminist Family History in Eight Lives, I reflect on my experiences of creating this podcast series about my grandmothers and great-grandmothers. I’m also in conversation with Professor Maggie O’Neill, an expert in biographical and walking research.
