Join Janina Ramirez, leading TV presenter and author of the Sunday Times bestseller Femina, and Shalina Patel prize-winning broadcaster, teacher and creator of Instagram history sensation The History Corridor, as they tell the stories of four extraordinary women and ask: what are the challenges facing today’s historians working at the sharp end of history?
