Andrew Leigh, co-founder of Maynard Leigh Associates, a leading UK training provider and much-published business author, has made a striking literary debut with his first non-fiction and non-business book, Conversations with Remarkable Women.
The book comprises imaginary conversations with twenty distinguished and high-achieving women from history. Leigh offers readers a fresh perspective on the lives and legacies of figures such as Catherine the Great, Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Tubman, Coco Chanel, and Hedy Lamarr. Each woman shares her story, struggles, and reminds us how much has been achieved, and how much potential remains untapped.
Inspired by centuries of systemic oppression faced by women, Leigh sought to honour those who defied expectations and changed the course of history. With added facts and creative dialogue, he breathes new life into the stories of women who refused to be silenced or forgotten.
“This project was a personal passion,” says Leigh. “My reason for wanting to converse with remarkable women springs from curiosity. I wanted to discover what meeting some of history’s most compelling people would be like. Of course, most have been interviewed before, or their stories told vividly and in detail by historians and biographers. Yet, talking directly with them would still be fascinating and help me better understand their lives.”
Andrew utilizes countless varied and credible resources, which provided the basis for the compelling conversations with famous dead people.
The practice of communing with the dead has long been a source of insight for those daring enough to try it. Even Carl Jung held dialogues with ancient figures in his Red Book; William Blake spoke of nightly discussions with Milton and the prophets; and Joan of Arc claimed divine voices guided her destiny.
Across centuries, thinkers, mystics, and creators have turned inward to consult the great departed, not as ghosts, but as living presences within the imagination.
For those who seek inspiration from history’s forgotten heroines, Conversations with Remarkable Women offers both enlightenment and empowerment.
