Fortunate Foundlings - Eliza Haywood - Part 2

from Fortunate Foundlings · host Eliza Haywood

A story of love and adventure, following the fortunes of a young man and woman each trying to make their way in the wide world. Horatio and Louisa are twins, abandoned in infancy and adopted by a wealthy bachelor. For various reasons both leave his protection and set off independently: Plucky and determined Louisa must defend her virtue and make her way in a man’s world, and her spirited brother seeks his fortune in the army. This energetic narrative gallops from city to court, from battlefield to convent, and across a number of European countries. Written in 1744 (when the novel was just emerging as a form) by actress and prolific author Eliza Haywood, this is an eighteenth century rollercoaster - action packed, passionate, melodramatic, and often unashamedly sentimental. - Summary by Helen Taylor

Be Impactful by Impact Fashion Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion Hi, I'm Rivky Itzkowitz I'm the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I'm the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I've been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I've learnt is that we are all just improvising. We're going around doing the best we can with what we've got, feeling self conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you're looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else.So let's talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open.
