Remember in school, all those lessons about the men of the past? How they ruled, fought and built? Well, on Kickass Women of History we'll be learning about what they didn't teach us in school. We'll be exploring the lives of strong and incredible women from around the globe and from throughout human history. Our aim is to share diverse stories of women who made a difference - to their family, village, country or the whole world. That could be 5 years ago, or 5000. Each episode, we'll be joined by a different historian who'll be sharing the life of their history heroine.

26. Tapontos: Enslaved Weaver

Thousands of books have been written about the rich and elite of the Roman Empire, but what about everyone else?

Dr Karen Eva Carr, Associate Professor (Emerita) in the Department of History at Portland State University, joins Amy to discuss the life of Tapontos, an enslaved woman living in Roman Egypt.

What would life have been like for Tapontos? Why are the contributions of working women to the economy continuously overlooked? What happens if your enslaver wants fresh bread at 3am?
