I was just I was thinking Professor Diamond.
voice-verified
That's like it's like a Bond villain.
voice-verified
That's just the best name ever.
voice-verified
But apart from being a Bond villain in your side, you were also Professor Emerita at Cardiff University with a specialism in French history, particularly in World War II.
voice-verified
Well, bonjour.
voice-verified
And how did you get into
voice-verified
You absolutely have and you have filled it with your book, Josephine Baker's Secret War, an African American Star Who Fought for France and Freedom, which is out in paperback in October.
voice-verified
What a fabulous book that is.
voice-verified
Uh but there might be people listening who don't know who Josephine Baker is.
voice-verified
And normally what I'd say at this point is, tell us who Josephine Baker was, but I don't even know how you would condense that to a few sentences, but can you try?
voice-verified
Who
voice-verified
Who who was she?
voice-verified
And she I mean, if you've never seen a picture of Josephine Baker, I urge you to Google her immediately, dear listener, because she is a sight to behold.
voice-verified
She's the most incredible looking woman.
voice-verified
But let's try and take it right back to where she was born.
voice-verified
Because like as you said, rags to riches.
voice-verified
And when you say rags, like you don't just mean people that maybe don't have enough to get by.
voice-verified
This is real poverty.
voice-verified
That she was born into.
voice-verified
And we should remember as well that the America that Josephine was leaving was not particularly welcoming.
