About this deal

Inside Charles and Camilla's state dinner: King and Queen enjoyed lobster ravoli andsalmon as part of eight-course feast in Nairobi For more than 50 years she was a correspondent for The Girl's Own Paper, the precursor to today's Woman magazine. Her most famous novel, The Vicar of Langthwaite, was reprinted in 1897 with a foreword by the former prime minister, William Gladstone. Yet all of her books are now out of print. She doesn't appear in anthologies of Victorian literature and references to her online are few. It’s impressive. I don’t just mean it’s impressive that such a fantastic night is on the cards. But that this woman – a multi-million-selling author, OBE; famed for novels such as the Languedoc Trilogy – should be launching her first ever one-woman show.

Women of courage and women of faith, women of science and invention and conservation, campaigners and fighters, the quiet revolutionaries and those who burned bright. We learnt so much. I didn’t know that the first patent for a dishwasher was given to Josephine Cochrane in 1886. Or that Miriam Kate Williams – known by her stage name Vulcana – was a Welsh strongwoman who toured music halls in Britain, Europe and Australia in the early part of the 20th century. Or that the oldest university in the world was founded by a woman, Fatima al-Fihri, in 859 in Fez. The full list is varied and fabulous, it sings with admiration for so many inspiring women throughout the ages and those who are making history today.

Meghan's estranged BFF Jessica Mulroney remind fans of her OTHER brushes with royalty as she shares photos... So that, together, we can celebrate some of the extraordinary women who also built our world. My great-grandmother, Lily, was one of them. From Jerusalem to Mongolia and the amazing wrestling warrior princess, Khutulun. The great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Kahn and the most trusted military adviser and general to her father, Kaidu Khan, she was also a famous wrestler. Legend has it that she said she would only marry the man who could beat her in a wrestling competition. If she won, they had to present her with one hundred horses – some versions of the story say one thousand – and she is reputed to have built up her own herd of ten thousand horses. . .
