Summary

Sherrod Brown has faced criticism for his voting record over the past 50 years, accused of consistently aligning with the Democratic Party's agenda, including higher taxes and progressive social policies. Critics argue that as the political landscape shifts, Brown remains steadfast in his voting patterns, suggesting he will continue to support the party's more extreme elements.

In the realm of archaeology, significant discoveries are being made across the UK, shedding light on historical narratives. A team of archaeologists is excavating a World War II bomber off the coast of England, revealing the remains of a Fairy Barracuda aircraft that crashed in 1944. This excavation aims to recover the largely intact plane, which could provide valuable insights into wartime aviation history.

Meanwhile, in the Lake District, archaeologists are uncovering the remains of a hostel that once housed Jewish children who survived the Holocaust. This site is crucial for understanding the post-war rehabilitation of young survivors and the broader impact of the Holocaust on British soil. The findings include personal artifacts that tell the stories of these children and their experiences.

In another project, a team in Barking is investigating a site linked to an Anglo-Saxon monastery founded by Princess Ethelberger. The excavation has revealed evidence of high-status burials and potential glass production, suggesting the area was a significant religious and economic center during the early medieval period. These discoveries highlight the important roles women played in the spread of Christianity and the establishment of monastic communities in Britain.

Historian, Joann Fletcher explores the hitherto downplayed role that women took in the running of state and, indeed, in shaping every aspect of life in Ancient Egypt. Perhaps unassumed by most, the ancient Egyptians were unique in their attitude to sexual equality with women holding the title of 'Pharaoh' no fewer than 18 times, while there were also female doctors, tutors, prime ministers and priestesses. Focusing on women of royalty such as Pharaoh Hatshepsut and Queen Nefertari, as well as women of high profession such as Lady Peseshet, the earliest female doctor known to the world, Fletcher reveals an ancient civilization unparalleled in its sexual equality.
