Joining the podcast this week is writer, podcaster and sex historian Dr Kate Lister! She helps answer questions like: When was the best time in history to be a single woman? Was Queen Elizabeth I really a virgin? And if you were a sex loving single woman in the 19th century, was it easier to just tell people you’re actually married to a ghost?
