Helen Pugh has long believed that it's important to rescue historical women from obscurity and make sure that "herstory" is taught alongside "history"!

Her interest in South America and the Incas began in 2006, when she first went to Ecuador. Then, from 2011 she lived there for 7 continuous years, 6 in the Amazon Region and 1 in Quito. She experienced domestic violence and very long and traumatic legal battles there so can relate to some of the Inca women in the book on that front. 

Helen studied Spanish and Italian at University and has a lifelong passion for history, especially that of historical women who made history, but have been sidelined.
