Hi, welcome to the Wondrous Women podcast. I’m Helen Pugh and for many years I’ve been researching women throughout history for my books, which include Unsung Women in Somerset, On This Day in Somerset, Jungle-tastic Tales and Inca-tastic Tales.

In this episode, we’ll be looking at times when girls have been worshipped. There'll be no accompanying Patreon episodes for this one and this will be the last episode for the time being. Thanks for your support and understanding.
