Most of our collective mythology is told through the eyes of great men: generals, presidents, and dictators; the cultural giants, the moguls and the revolutionaries, who have stood front and centre on the global stage and rewritten our cultural and geopolitical narrative to great fame. 

 

They become iconic and emblematic, celebrated for their contributions to human endeavour. However, behind these boldface names, exerting a very different, and yet no less powerful influence, are the women of history: the muses, monarchs, moguls, and mistresses whose stories have largely remained untold. VPP was founded to share the stories of these women who have wielded soft power to change the course of history through the written word & moving image.
