Host Anita Anand joins author Simon Sebag Montefiore and journalist Sian Williams to explore the story of the first documented female author, the Mesopatamian princess Enheduanna.
The priestess, poet and author became the first person in history to recount her own sexual assault, and in this fascinating look at her life they explore the history of women writing about their trauma to find healing.
