Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Nan McNamara’s narration is a standout feature, bringing life to Armstrong’s vivid storytelling. The pacing is brisk yet thoughtful, ensuring listeners are engaged without feeling rushed. What truly sets this audiobook apart is its detailed exploration of the women who dared to challenge the status quo in an industry dominated by men. While the depth and breadth of information can sometimes feel overwhelming, it's also incredibly rewarding. A specific critique: while the inclusion of lesser-known figures enriches the narrative, at times it may overwhelm the central focus on the key pioneers. Nevertheless, 'When Women Invented Television' is a must-listen for anyone interested in how women have shaped media history.
