Letters from Quotidia 2025 Weekend Supplement 5

About this episode

The episode reflects on significant historical events in June that symbolize hope and progress.

From Magna Carta, through Susan B Anthony’s magnificent speech in June 1873 declaring the personhood of women and consequently their right to vote under the Constitution, to the D-Day invasion on 4th June 1944, June has been a month of resonant hope to those of us who maintain an optimistic view that the forces of darkness will be ultimately defeated by the light.
