Episode Description from the Publisher

Are there enough women writing history and being written about? The broadcaster Sandi Toksvig has announced she is launching an alternative to Wikipedia after claiming the site is "deeply biased". Along with the University of Cambridge, she hopes that her Mappa Mundi project will be an “interactive digital atlas where we can find a home for the vast amount of knowledge that is currently sidelined or deleted”. Adam Fleming explores who writes history and how the present will be remembered in the future. Presenter: Adam Fleming Producers: John Murphy, Lucy Sheppard, Annabel Deas. Studio Manager: Andrew Mills Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison Editor: Penny Murphy
