    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.

Even if you think it's not for you

I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I listened yo every bit of these short stories. It's true that you can relive someone's experience and really let it become a little part of yours for growth, for self love and compassion. Thank you for these letters 💜

Struggled to listen to. Didn't finish

I tried my hardest to listen, enjoy it and finish this but I just couldn't. Listening to unknown women read letters to other women just bored me. It wasn't entertaining at all.
