So let's get right into it. This month is Women's History

Month, of course. And we're going to start it off today with a look at a day in the life of

various types of tutor women. So I've done episodes that are like a day in the life of. We did like a

day in the life in London, a day in the life in 16th century Cambridge, a day in the life of. We did like a day in the life in London, a day in the life in 16th century

Cambridge, a day in the life of different types of people. And the one comment that always comes

back to me, which is totally valid, is that it's all stuff that men are doing. And that is true.

And there's a reason for that because, of course, men were doing things that went in the record. So women were not, nobody was writing until later on towards the end of the 16th century, beginning the 17th century when there were like household books and books about how to keep your household, things like that, people weren't

really writing very much in the record about what women were doing, right?

Women weren't at guild meetings that were being recorded.

Women weren't at parliament, which was, you know, where a lot of records come from.

Women weren't starting businesses doing things like that would have been recorded, right?

So it's kind of one of those real misings from history that we don't have these very clear records of what women were doing that during that time.

We do start to get and later on in Women's History Month we're going to talk about letters.
