Guest: Nancy Richards

Nancy Richards needs little introduction to South African audiences – a seasoned journalist in both radio and print, she’s also the founder of the Woman Zone storytelling initiative and the Women’s Library at the Artscape.
It’s my enormous pleasure to welcome her today to talk about the woman at the helm of her new book, her mother, also named Nancy, who was the Skipper’s Daughter of the title.  The book tells the extraordinary story of how in 1938, at the age of just 16, she went to sea on a commercial vessel on a round the world trip.
