To The Woman is Audible UK's flagship podcast series for International Women's Day 2019.
Hosted by National Book Award winner, Sunday Times best-selling author, activist and broadcaster Scarlett Curtis, this series celebrates extraordinary women of the world through a series of intimate letters to themselves and each other. Mothers, life-long friends or the women we are yet to meet: the show celebrates the idiosyncrasies, ideals, and intimacies of shared womanhood.
Beginning with a simple prompt, "To the woman..." penned by Scarlett herself, these episodes bloom into a larger narrative of love, friendship and a celebration of women. The podcast has been produced by multi-award-winning documentary maker Hana Walker-Brown.
Please note: contains strong language and adult content. As an Audio Show - free for members - when you add To the Woman to your library, you'll get all five episodes, each with a runtime of about 25 minutes.

I meant to listen to this during International Women's Day but forgot all about it. This is a powerful podcast. Scarlett Curtis presents it and she does a good job of holding your interest throughout each episode. I loved the premise, letters from women to women, relatives and otherwise who had played an important role in their life. This is a very emotional podcast. An early episode has a woman reading a letter to her dead mother. This had me in tears. To The Woman shows what a long way women have come and what a long way there still is to go for equality and respect.
