AWW21 Lost Women of History - Danielle Clode and Judith Hoare

When Danielle Clode set out to research In Search of the Woman
Who Sailed the World, about the first woman to circumnavigate the
earth, she discovered scant details of an impoverished French
peasant who embarked on her voyage disguised as a man. Judith
Hoare’s The Woman Who Cracked the Anxiety Code is the overdue
account of Australian Dr Claire Weekes, whose pioneering work on
anxiety and depression still forms the basis of much contemporary
treatment. Danielle and Judith reflect on these groundbreaking
but overlooked women, and why women are written out of history.
