Google great speeches and chances are you'll mostly find speeches given by men. Great speeches by women in history tend to get far less attention than they deserve. So, here is Part 1 of my personal top ten of remarkable speeches by women.

Part 2 will follow next week.

You probably have your own thoughts, so why not message me on twitter @greatspeechco with your own choice.

This episode is also a tribute to Denise Graveline of The Eloquent Woman Blog, who sadly passed away in 2018. She still has one of the best resource blogs on speeches by women. (http://eloquentwoman.blogspot.com/p/the-eloquent-woman-index-of-famous.html)
