The Mission That’s Bigger Than Me
A Mission for the Past, Present, and Future
This site is more than a book showcase. It’s a platform for memory, for conversation, and for change. Rooted in the philosophy of Equality Without Distinction, it challenges how we think about history, community, and ourselves.
History Waits to Be Heard reveals how women’s voices have been minimised, rewritten, or erased—and how reclaiming those stories reshapes our world today. But that’s only the beginning.
This is a conversation for anyone ready to question assumptions and amplify forgotten voices. Whether you’re here for the book, the message, or the movement—you’re in the right place.
History is not a wall but a doorway—step through and discover what was left behind.

Equality Without Distinction means balance—not by erasing difference, but by recognising value.
🌱 Where This Began
For much of my life, history felt like a list—names, dates, and victories that rarely seemed to include people like me or you. Later I realised: history isn’t just what happened; it’s what we’re taught to remember—and what gets left out.
I wasn’t looking to write a “women’s history” book. I wanted the fuller picture. The more I searched, the more gaps I found: Florence Nightingale the statistician, Rosalind Franklin and DNA, Viking warriors assumed male—and discovered female. Patterns of erasure, not absence.
My love of history didn’t come from textbooks. It came from Blackadder and Time Team—history as flawed, human, real—and from Iron Maiden’s storytelling that made the past feel alive. And it came from a question asked by Georgie and Phoebe: “Why don’t you write a book?”
History isn’t just in dusty archives—it’s in songs, humour, and the imagination that refuses to forget.
📖 Equality Without Distinction
Most conversations about equality begin with categories—boxes that divide and compare. But those boxes are the very tools history used to exclude. Equality Without Distinction starts with a different assumption: the person beside you is already equal, already valuable, already part of the story.
Remove the filters of hierarchy and label and you’ll find voices that were always there—waiting to be heard. This isn’t a slogan; it’s a discipline of listening.
Every page turned is a chance to hear what history tried to silence.
💬 An Invitation to Read Differently
History shapes the present we live in. Whose voices are amplified, and whose are erased? This project challenges neat narratives and asks what changes when we listen differently.
This isn’t an academic text with final answers. It’s a doorway—an opening into questions we can walk through together.
Equality Without Distinction may be my phrasing — but the idea is bigger than me.
