Political Figures: Contarhuacho

Hi, welcome to the Wondrous Women podcast. Thanks for tuning in. I’m Helen Pugh and for many years I’ve been researching women throughout history for my books, which include Unsung Women in Somerset, On This Day in Somerset, Jungle-tastic Tales and Inca-tastic Tales.In this episode, we’ll be looking at a political leader from the Inca Empire. Her name was Contarhuacho (also spelt Contarguacho) and she was born in Tocash in the modern-day province of Huaylas in Peru around the year 1500. To find out more about my books, you can head to Patreon or to Linktree, specifically linktr.ee/helenpugh. There are books for kids and adults, books in Spanish and in English. The books include On This Day in Somerset, Unsung Women in Somerset, Jungle-tastic Tales and Inca-tastic Tales. And once again thanks for listening.
