Summary

How do we put women back in the history books? Author, playwright, co-founder of The Women’s Prize for Fiction and member of the executive committee of Women of the World, Kate Mosse joins Siân Pattenden to talk about balancing out Margaret Thatcher and Barbara Castle, and her new book, Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries - How Women (Also) Built the World. “Women were often incredibly well-known in their day. It’s what happens to them after that.” “We talk about Florence Nightingale as a nurse and carer - but never a statistician.” “This isn't about men versus women. It's about patriarchy, a system, that benefits a tiny number of men.” “Women's place in history cannot be about likeability.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Siân Pattenden. Lead Producer: Jacob Jarvis. Producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic. Assistant producer: Kasia Tomasiewicz. Audio production by Alex Rees. Music: Kenny Dickinson.
