The tried and tested 'On This Dayin History' format has elevated thestories of many people and theirimpact on the wider world. However,of those considered noteworthy bythe Establishment, just a fraction arewomen. But this is not the whole story- not by half.Our past is full of influential women,many of whom have been unfairlyconfined to the margins of history.Politicians, troublemakers, explorers,artists, writers, scientists and eventhe odd murderer; these women haveshaped society around the globe.From Beyonce to Doria Shafik, QueenElizabeth I to Lillian Bilocca, On ThisDay She sets out to redress thisimbalance and give voice to boththose already deemed female icons,alongside others whom the historybooks have failed to include: thegood, the bad and everything inbetween- this is a record of humanexistence at its most authentic.
