Stephanie Racine narrates Females: Our History, which re-examines background from a female perspective.

This audiobook celebrates the numerous important roles women have played in culture and society that are less often told.

Packed full of evocative facts, and having a foreword by Lucy Worsley, this audiobook shows the key events in women’s history – from early matriarchal societies through women’s suffrage, the Suffragette movement, 20th-century feminism and gender politics, to latest movements about Women: Our History such as for example #MeToo and International Women’s Day – and the key role women experienced in shaping our past.

Find out about the everyday lives of women through the ages as well as the best names of women’s history – powerful, inspirational, and trailblazing women such as Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eva Peron, and Rosa Parks – and discover the unsung contributions of lesser-known women who have changed the world, and the ‘forgotten’ occasions of women’s background.

Putting women firmly centre stage, Women: Our History shows women where they attended from, and, in celebrating the achievements of women of the past offers positive role types for females of today.
