    Catherine the Great meets Dolly Parton (Empire builders)

    Two empires, both alike in dignity, but reigned by very different iconic women. One ruled Enlightenment Russia in the 18th century, the other built her country music empire over the past 60 years in the United States. Neither woman was destined for greatness from birth but they both fought tooth and nail to reach the very top, clambering over significant men in their lives to do so. But they aren't just power hungry blonde bombshells with larger than life hairstyles, both have a genuine ...

    Aphra Behn meets Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Pioneering Playwrights)

    It’s time to get physical, metaphysical! As we delve into the lives of poetess and playwright, Aphra Behn, and comedy supernova, Phoebe Waller Bridge. With their bawdy humour and licentious attitudes, these two set the London theatre scenes of the 17th and 21st centuries alight. But we’re not just comparing them for their raunchy repartee OHH NO! This pair are also connected to the world of spies. We promise you this episode will have been worth the wait! Email - femmefilesp...

    Circe meets Gwyneth Paltrow (Witches)

    Do you want to live deliciously? For our fifth episode we’re casting our attentions to the mythical goddess Circe and wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow.

    Georgiana Cavendish meets Taylor Swift (Cancel Culture)

    Women have been cancelled since the dawn of time it seems (looking at you Eve) and our latest female figures are no exception. In this episode we explore the banishment and de-platforming of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire and pop star Taylor Swift. One was shunned by high society, the other driven into hiding by a social media storm. But why is it that women often find themselves so brutally cancelled from society? And once cancelled, is there any way to gain back what you've lost...
