Remember in school, all those lessons about the men of the past? How they ruled, fought and built? Well, on Kickass Women of History we'll be learning about what they didn't teach us in school. We'll be exploring the lives of strong and incredible women from around the globe and from throughout human history.
Our aim is to share diverse stories of women who made a difference - to their family, village, country or the whole world. That could be 5 years ago, or 5000. Each episode, we'll be joined by a different historian who'll be sharing the life of their history heroine.
