We Will Get Past This

27 Life Is Weirder Than Fiction

Hello there, how lovely to see you again. Today Sandi is contemplating the current situation we find ourselves in and how it inhibits the ability to come-up with any kind of new fiction...life is weird enough as it is! So, it's nice to have books that one can dip-in and out of and the 'Live-Wire Book Of British Women Achievers' is perfect for that. In this episode we get to hear about some female trailblazers who despite their womanly states, were able write for stage and books, which ultimately led to women finally being allowed to perform on the stage. We're all looking forward to a time when we can go and watch performers of all gender persuasions in theatres again - and one day it will happen because... We Will Get Past This.   Hosted on Acast.
