Life Lessons from Historical Women by Eleanor Morton

5.0

This audiobook delivered on every level. It was a fascinating listen about different women throughout history that was both fascinating and hilarious (while knowing when to be serious and poignant).

There’s a really good selection of women discussed, including women from all around the world, and also featuring trans and gender non-conforming women. There were some that I’d heard of, and some that I hadn’t. I really appreciated that Morton started each chapter with a chatty, personal anecdote that led into each woman’s life story. It worked particularly well in audiobook form, and was a good reminder that these women have impacted our lives in ways we often don’t know.

I was also really impressed by the level of research, especially into women where not much is known about their lives. It’s clear how much work has gone into each chapter, and while all of these women achieved extraordinary things, the message of the book rings true for each one: that they are still ordinary women who we can draw inspiration from.

I received a free copy for an honest review.
