For too long, the story of human history has been a story of men. But how would the story change if we put the ‘lost women’ center stage? In our 100th Episode Special, we tell the whole history of the world, in one sweeping narrative, through all 100 What’sHerName women!
Find links to every episode of What'sHerName on our website, or order Katie and Olivia's new book The Book of Sisters from our Bookshop or anywhere books are sold.
Music featured in this episode was provided by Tower of Light, Aaron Kenny, ELFNT, Savfk, Kevin MacLeod, Radio Jarocho and Zenen Zeferino, Sir Cubworth, Chris Haugen, and Daniel Foster Smith.
