Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Bernadette Dunne’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; her rich and varied tones perfectly capture the complex emotions and diverse characters within 'An Unladylike Profession.' Each voice she gives to these powerful women feels authentic, making it hard not to become emotionally invested in their stories. The pacing is brisk yet thoughtful, allowing every detail to resonate without feeling rushed. While the narrative jumps between multiple individuals, this structure keeps the audiobook engaging and prevents any one story from becoming monotonous. A couple of sections detailing technical aspects of journalism could have been tightened up a bit for smoother listening, but overall, it’s a compelling journey into a forgotten chapter of history that will resonate with anyone interested in art, literature, or biographical works.
