Feeling unfulfilled in her career as a journalist and Hollywood reporter, Sarah found her true calling when she happened upon the story of Arbella Stuart.  Writing Arbella's biography opened up a whole new path for Sarah, coupling  her love of writing with her lifelong fascination with the untold stories of women throughout history. Sarah Gristwood is a journalist and author committed to publicizing women's experiences throughout history. As a young journalist, she championed women's voices through outlets such as the Guardian Women's Page and as a founder member of Women in Journalism and The Women's Equality Party. As a historian, she has consistently explored the question of women and power through the ages. She now broadcasts regularly for Sky News, CNN and the BBC on royal and historical affairs. A graduate of Oxford University, she is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and of the RSA, who has been shortlisted for both the Marsh Biography Award and the Ben Pimlott Prize for Political Writing. Her most recent book, Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries, is a captivating collection of extracts from women's diaries, looking back over four centuries to discover how women's experiences have changed down the years, and, of course, how they haven't.    What You Will Hear in This Episode:   01:59  Sarah's Personal Story and Journey to Historical Biographies 05:11  Common Themes in Women's Diaries 08:40  Accessing Historical Diaries 11:15  Modern Diaries and Historical Perspectives 21:59  Personal Growth Through Journaling 32:24  Choosing the Diaries for the Book 35:27  Conclusion and Contact Information   Quotes “One aspect of this book of Secret Voices for me was that in some ways the women in it were  voicing some of my own  concerns, thoughts,  and traumas.” “Frustration is the single greatest emotion across all these generations.” "Journaling was a huge part of personal growth for many of these women." "A number of these women were voicing feelings, ambition, anger, that they weren't allowed to express elsewhere in their society." “I love that, for a number of these women, the battles were small personal ones.  Some, like Charlotte Forton, were fighting huge public battles. But others were just opening the doors, moving,  moving the goalposts  on in their own small ways. "The immediate privacy of the diary form allowed them to voice those unacceptable feelings, anger, ambition, discontent."  "Self-expression is so important, and for women, keeping a diary or journal is a great way to tell your truth and perhaps, as we talked about, never share it."   Mentioned: SarahGristwood.com Secret Voices.

Recently, we talked to novelist Jodi Picoult about her contention that many of the works commonly attributed to Shakespeare were actually written by a woman named Emilia Bassano (a.k.a. Aemilia Lanyer). But even as that compelling theory awaits definitive proof, we already know of several women - Shakespeare's contemporaries - who overcame obstacles and wrote their way through a male-dominated literary world. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Ramie Targoff (Shakespeare's Sisters: How Women Wrote the Renaissance) about the women who defied the odds and defined themselves as writers at a time when women were legally the property of men.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! As you may know, I have a new book coming out soon called Create a Life You Love and in it I tackle what I call the Everything Era — that wildly confusing decade-ish where we have to make some of the most significant decisions of our lives, typically all at the same time. I've spent the last 10 years wrestling with these big life decisions and the pressure that comes with them — and I've talked to countless women who are doing the same. But I didn't know it was a thing — actually a thing — until two years ago when I heard a statistic I will never, ever forget. In a rare study of life-span development, researchers at Boston University and the University of Michigan found that 80% of our life's most defining moments happen before we turn 35. In fact, the average woman makes the majority of her biggest life decisions in the decade between her 25th and 35th (ish) birthdays. So… I wasn't exaggerating, it wasn't my imagination, this season of life is actually as big, and hard, and consequential as it feels. So that's when I started to dig. I needed more information. I wanted to know more about what's happening in us during these years, and what's happening around us. I also started to wonder what these years have looked like for the generations of women who have gone before us, because I realized I didn't actually know. I have learned SO MUCH as I've heard stories of women from past generations. The more I've learned about women's history, the more I understand why our lives look the way they do today. This is why I'm so excited to introduce you to today's guest! Our guest for today's episode is my new friend, Sarah Gristwood. Sarah is a former film journalist and now writes books about women's history. Her most recent is called, Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries. In it, she analyzes a collection of excerpts from women's diaries, looking back over four centuries to discover how women's experience—of men and children, sex and shopping, work and the natural world—has changed down the years. And, of course, how it hasn't. I LOVED this conversation, and I can't wait for you to hear it. Before we dive in, I wanted to read you just a little snippet of my new book, Create A Life You Love — because in it, I explain why learning about women's history has meant so much to me. “Recognizing the pressures women have been under throughout history helps me feel like I'm not alone. I'm part of a large sisterhood, and I'm honored to be. This truth is especially helpful to me during times when I start to wonder if the pressure I'm feeling is imagined—if the expectations I'm sensing are really as heavy and forceful as they feel. As I look back at the centuries of pressure and expectations and opinions about women's lives and how they should spend them, I see that yes, this actually is as big as it feels. And that's so validating. It helps me be kinder to myself as I navigate all of this. I hope it helps you too.” “Not only is it helpful for me to know that this pressure isn't new—that women have always had people breathing down their necks telling them what they should do and how they should live—but also, the more I find out about the expectations placed on women throughout history, the more I understand why some of the decisions I'm trying to make in my own life today feel so heavy.” You guys, Sarah is the best.

The three share how porn has shaped their sex and relationships.Do you keep a diary? Why and who for? Is it for yourself or for potential readers in the future? And does it allow you to express emotions that have no other outlet? These are just some of the themes explored in Secret Voices: A Year of Women's Diaries, which has been billed as the first comprehensive anthology of solely female diarists. Compiled by the historical biographer Sarah Gristwood, it features entries from over the past four centuries, from the likes of Florence Nightingale, Beatrix Potter, Audre Lorde and Emma Thompson.The government in South Korea has said the country's birth rate has fallen to a record low, despite it having spent billions on initiatives to encourage women to have more children.

They met one evening at a dinner party, both equally fascinated by each other, and went on to develop a relationship that ebbed and flowed between friendship and romantic affection for many years. Their love story was not complicated by their husbands. In fact, how these four people treated each other with such acceptance, kindness and understanding is one of the most interesting aspects of their relationship. As writers, lovers and friends, Vita and Virginia crafted a love story quite unlike any other. They will be forever bound together in life and legacy.

Sarah Gristwood considers how the Tudor monarchs used medieval ideas about courtly love for their own ends In medieval Europe, the nobility were entranced with courtly love, a genre of literature that saw chivalrous knights performing heroic deeds to protect and serve their lovers. But as Sarah Gristwood argues, these tropes later captured the hearts and minds of the Tudor dynasty, who used ideas about courtly love to further their own agendas.

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. European history is filled with the legend of kings. In fact, you could argue most of that history was formed by the whims and strategy of said kings. But what about the queens? Were they simply used as political devices and breeders? Sarah Gristwood argues that the world we know today is a result of the powerful queens we know little about. More than just Elizabeth, the monarchs of the sixteenth-century were or had to converse with powerful women; woman the contemporary society should learn more from and about. Danny dives into a story filled with many protagonists, but to drive how the author's might point and position, he focuses on two sister's and how their rivaling kingdom led them to overseeing one of Europe's greatest, but short lived peace. Take a listen as Danny provides a history lesson on two fascinating women and how much he loves the phenomenal work of Gristwood.

The so-called “Wars of the Roses” is one of the most fascinating periods of English history. There is the uber-king, Henry V, vanquishing the enemy in France and inspiring his troops (and Shakespeare!) to a stunning victory at Agincourt. There’s his son, the under-king, Henry VI. Crowed as a child, Henry VI never came anywhere near the ease or effectiveness on the throne his father had. There are the York brothers, Edward, George, and Richard. All sons of Richard Duke of York, the three brothers displayed a level of ambition and ruthlessness that led to of them to the crown of England. And there are some Beauforts and Nevillles and Tudors lurking about as well.I can tell you right now that one of my very, very favorite things about this time period is the women!!They weren’t all dressed in armor and riding into battle like Joan of Arc, but the English women involved in the Wars of the Roses were fierce, fearless, and fantastic. They were queens, and almost-queens, and duchesses, and all-around fighters. They were also mothers and daughters and sisters who had a level of access to the of course male leaders of the time. These women broke the rules—and I mean BROKE the rules—and made new ones. Working from the inside, they changed everything.There are some terrific books about these women, and I’d like to share three with you:**She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth by Helen Castor.**Blood Sisters: The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses by Sarah Gristwood.**Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch by Nicola Tallis.
