As we celebrate Women's History Month, you might be fumbling in the dark trying to grasp the what, why and how of events. The following interactive and resourceful platforms retell historical events in an enjoyable and interesting way that is palatable to everyone.

History Extra

The official website for BBC History Magazine and BBC History Revealed, this platform brings a chock full of history at your fingertips. There are comprehensive articles and masterclasses that get to the bottom of many historical facts and events. The site also produces a history podcast, but the most interesting section is their Historical Quizzes, which puts your history knowledge to the test.

History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday

Lindsay's YouTube channel has almost 400 mini history documentaries that uncover stories of royals, women and other fascinating but lesser-known topics. Videos like "Women of the Titanic" and "Hürrem Sultan, Ottoman Empress" make you realise that contemporary culture teaches us about the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic and the magnificent Sultan Suleiman, but not much is said about the women involved.

You're Dead To Me

Podcasts in popular vernacular have proved to be a valuable investment of time. The host of "You're Dead To Me", Greg Jenner discovers the hidden side of famous people and inventions. Along with the best names in comedy and history, each episode features layer upon layer of anecdotes, jaw-dropping facts and little nuggets of wisdom.

Suibhne

From bite-sized videos to long-form ones, Suibhne chronicles many countries' history. The minimalistic yet detailed animation makes it easy to follow through with the stories. If you consider reading to be a chore, visit this YouTube channel for enlightening crash courses.

The People History

This website organises all salient historical narratives from the 1800s to as recent as 2013 under one umbrella. "This Day in History" is a section that reveals astonishingly rich trivia about the past. You can also take a look at what was trending in fashion and music, food prices, and evolution of several sports across different eras.
