In this episode, DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire introduces us to a woman from the past who probably would have been overlooked if she hadn't documented her life in such a painstaking fashion — on request. As a domestic servant in Victorian England, Hannah Cullwick should have led a rather ordinary existence for her time. But her involvement in a very unconventional relationship means that we know quite a lot about her work and life, and much, much more. Producer/host Susan Stone does the introducing duties.

Presenter Katy Derbyshire is not just a co-founder, she's also a notable translator, publisher, and book enthusiast. Katy's imprint, V&Q Books, has a brand new book out that she compiled and edited. It's called Berlin Babel, and it's a collection of short stories about the city from a rich array of international voices. Do check it out at this link if you like! https://vq-books.eu/wppb_works/berlin-babel/

In this episode, DLSP host Susan Stone brings us the story of Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, famous for inventing the Frankfurt Kitchen, which modernized one of the most important rooms in the home. Driven by her aesthetic mission and her politics, Schütte-Lihotzky designed humanitarian housing, kindergartens, schools, and more during her over 100 years of life, which included stints in the Soviet Union and a Gestapo prison.

DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire is on hand to help with the introducing duties.
