Pippa Hudson interviews Penny Haw about her latest novel The Woman and Her Stars. The conversation explores Haw’s continued focus on overlooked women in history, this time telling the story of pioneering astronomer Caroline Herschel. They discuss how Herschel emerged from a difficult childhood in Hanover to become a respected scientist in 18th century England, working alongside her brother William Herschel. The interview also looks at her contributions to astronomy, her role in developing telescope technology, and the significance of her recognition in a male-dominated field. Pippa and Penny touch on the extensive research behind the book, as well as Herschel’s legacy and her historical link to Cape Town.
