Forgotten 20th Century Shero

Featuring: Didi Hoffman

In this podcast, we feature author Didi Arbib Hoffman, who spent five years researching the true story of her husband’s great aunt, the 20th century sculptor first-rank, humanitarian, world explorer and best-selling author, Malvina Hoffman. Who you might say?

Well, it only took sixty years for this world famous, heroic woman to be erased from history. Didi shares how a Victorian- era born girl grew up to smash every glass ceiling she encountered despite suffering leg-shaking fear and long bouts of depression. Didi’s book Beautiful Bodies -The Adventures of Malvina Hoffman, was awarded the 2018 Nautilus Book Awards, Silver Medal (Heroic Journeys).
