In Conversations With Remarkable Women, you’re invited to imagine sitting across from some of the most intriguing and effective women from the past. Author Andrew Leigh asks them the questions we wish history had answered.
What was Lou Andreas-Salomé’s passionately held view on the balance between intellect and passion? What allowed Madam Tussaud to bravely handle the heads of some of her recently guillotined friends and make realistic wax models of them? What was it like being enslaved and then abducted from a harem, as happened to Lady Florence Baker?
Through these dialogues, a tapestry of shared experience unfolds, revealing the universality of ambition, love, and the struggle for self-definition. These women, long relegated to history books or footnotes, are brought to life in all their humanity—brilliant, flawed, determined, and endlessly fascinating.
The conversations also challenge you to think about how far we’ve come—and how much further we must go. What do these women, who lived in times far less forgiving of female ambition, have to say to us today? And what might we say to them?
Author Andrew Leigh, sympathetic but willing to confront, acts as a bridge between the past and the present, ensuring that these figures are not just admired but truly understood. In doing so, Conversations with Remarkable Women achieves something extraordinary: it doesn’t just resurrect history; it gives it a pulse.
This book is not merely a tribute—it’s a call to action, a reminder that the lessons of the past are only as powerful as our willingness to learn from them. And for anyone who has ever wondered what it might be like to sit down with a remarkable woman and ask, “How did you do it?” this book is your answer.
