Episode 3 | Fuad Akhundov speaks on trailblazers, empowerment & education for girls in 1900s Baku.

In the podcast chair this week is Fuad Akhundov, famed in Baku for his engagingly eccentric walking tours packed with human-interest stories and lavishly illustrated with archive photos from the early 20th-century oil boom era. Talking soon after March 8th, International Women’s Day, he focuses here on Azerbaijan’s early milestones in suffrage, looks at developments in education for girls before WWI, and concludes with a very personal take on feminism. As ever your comments are very much welcomed.
