You may have heard of Captain Robert Scott and his tragic trip to the Antartic but do you know the stories of the women left behind? This week we have author Katherine MacInnes with us to tell us the stories of Kathleen Scott, Oriana Wilson, Caroline Oates, Emily Bowers, and Lois Evans the wives and mothers who were left behind and the shared tragedy that brought them together.
