A History of the World in 21 Women

Informed, interesting and concise in it's summary of each significant woman. There is much to be said for each woman but the essential essence of their stories is surmised brilliantly. The selection of figures over the spread of history is on point and expertly presented.

Gives an appreciation of women I would not have thought to learn about previously. Showcases the strength women have to possess to overcome prejudice, tradition, expectations and misogyny to achieve their goals and dreams.

Interesting choices, never accepted Madonna. I greatly admired the Russian journalist showing the world what was going on. Thank you Jenny., for highlighting these women.

Absolutely the best book I have ever listened to from Audible. Jenni read it so well and I was able to obtain some of my next book titles.
I’ve also started to listen again to some women I most admired or had never as there was such a lot included I don’t want to miss anything. I will use it as a future reading plan

I just finished the book en enjoyed it very much.
A lot of detailed information. very wel narrated.

Feel inspired after this book. My struggles as a woman are so small and normal to what these brave women faced. I'm interested to know why Jenni Murray didnt include Indira Gandhi. Being an Indian woman she is one of our idols.

preformed perfectly and with such interesting woman, it's a great listen and very powerful, definitely better than woman who run with the wolves

This is something that both women and men should read/listen. Yes, it is a feminist book, but the role and struggle of women in history has always been overshadowed by men - this book addresses that imbalance. I didn't even have to finish this before recommending it to my friends.

I like how each chapter is a mini biography but I would have liked each chapter to be named rather than numbered so it is easier to find a specific one later. Critics should note that this is not a history of perfect women but a history of influential women. We don’t have to like their politics to appreciate their impact.

I loved this, great narration. Witty, humorous with great intelligence. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. off to look for more by the same writer.
