For every day of the year, there are women who refused to be silenced and instead chose to challenge the status quo, paving the way for future generations to follow. In 'Feminist History for Every Day of the Year', Kate Mosse brings to life a diverse cast of trailblazers, from renowned figures like Dian Fossey and Malala Yousafzai, to lesser-known heroes like Beryl Gilroy and Florence Nagle.
Through an engaging narrative voice, Mosse and actor Adjoa Andoh guide listeners through the lives of these remarkable women, who broke barriers in fields ranging from science and art to politics and sports. While some achieved great success and recognition, others faced hardship and adversity, yet remained committed to their causes.
One notable example is Marie Stopes, founder of Britain's first birth control clinic, but also a proponent of eugenics. This nuanced portrayal highlights the complexities of history and the diverse perspectives that shape our understanding of the past.
The anthology is designed for dipping in and out, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer to listen at their leisure. The 10-hour audio book features bite-sized stories of female achievement, each one a testament to the power of women's voices and actions.
Throughout the narrative, Mosse and Andoh convey a sense of curiosity and passion, bringing these remarkable women to life with each retelling. From primatologist Dian Fossey to actor Josephine Baker, who also served as a pilot in the French resistance during World War II, this anthology celebrates can-do women who refused to accept the limitations placed on them.
Ultimately, 'Feminist History for Every Day of the Year' serves as a powerful reminder that the fight for equality is ongoing and requires continued attention from today's generation. By highlighting the achievements of women like Malala Yousafzai and Florence Nagle, Mosse inspires listeners to continue challenging the status quo and forging their own paths forward.

. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that they're trying to highlight these amazing women who broke barriers, but honestly, I feel like I've been hearing the same stories over and over again on my daily commute 
. Can't we learn about some new people for a change? 
And what's up with the eugenics thing? That's just awkward, even if they are trying to show that history is complex 
. I'm not saying it's bad, but... *shrugs* 
The way Kate Mosse weaves these incredible stories together is magic. I mean, who knew about Marie Stopes' eugenics ties? It's a super nuanced part of history that gets lost in the narrative often. And Adjoa Andoh is the perfect co-author, bringing such depth and emotion to each story. I'm totally down for a 10-hour listen fest!

i'm totally fascinated by these stories of strong women who refused to be silenced 
marie stopes is like a total legend, but also kinda problematic 
but overall its such a great read/listen 
i think we need more of this kind of storytelling in the world right now 
! 
stats show us that women have been trailblazers since ancient times 
57% of the world's population is female 
and yet they've been underrepresented in history books 
. Mosse's book brings those unsung heroes to life with over 10 hours of bite-sized stories 
. And, fun fact: Josephine Baker was not only a singer & dancer but also an actress & pilot 
! 
this book is all about empowering future generations to keep challenging the status quo
