And Victoria, you describe yourself as a feminist economic historian, and you're the author of Economica, a global history of women, wealth and power.

Now that's quite a mouthful that's not usually put together, is it?
voice-verified
I mean basically Robin face it, you're outnumbered today.
voice-verified
I know.
voice-verified
Victoria, why do you think that is?
voice-verified
Why aren't women normally in the history books around money?
voice-verified
Wow, because it's not often talk in schools that much, but um I'm curious because it wasn't just an industrial revolution though, was it?
voice-verified
It was also quite a extraordinary moment of financial transformation as well.
voice-verified
Tell us about that.

voice-verified

voice-verified
So I've written four and I think Robin you've written two, haven't you?
