Episode 181: A History of Women and their...things!
Manage episode 386611089 series 2454755
Regular listeners of the podcast will know that we absolutely love a book that revolves around women’s stories; that reclaims/wrestles the narrative from the petty patriarchal posturers of history. So we were delighted when Annabelle Hirsch’s 'A History of Women in 101 Objects' landed on our doormats. The book tells stories of female history through ‘things’; through the quiet power of their everyday items: perfumed gloves, thumbscrews, sewing machines, the Brontës’ miniature books, the contraceptive pill and abortion testimony. Female life through the ages, ordinary and extraordinary is here. We talk to Annabelle about the power of doubt, horror and humour, and the amazing resilience, resourcefulness and strength that women have shown every single day since the dawn of time.
