A review by pewterwolf
Toksvig's Almanac 2021 by Sandi Toksvig
4.0
I'm struggling to write this so might not go onto The Pewter Wolf Reads... as part of NetGalley November 2020. (I left it too long before I started writing this and I don't make notes!)
***Audiobook given by UK publisher, Trapeze, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review/reaction***
I like this meander throughout history, each day dedicated to looking (briefly) at a woman throughout history, all of whom did extraordinary things but most/all of whom have been mostly forgotten (guess which gender wrote the history books, folks?). A line or two for some women, a paragraph to others.
While I enjoyed Sandi narrating this, I sense a book might be the better choice for some people as, if a woman and her history catches your mind, you might be a stuck on researching them if you don't know how to spell her name (I had this several times, hence me asking for this as a stocking filler for Christmas).
