I received my copy of the booklet and I would love to read it. But someone seemed to think it was a good idea to print it in white on black. I cannot read light text on a dark background without getting a migraine. So sadly, I cannot read it at all.
I have a new 60 Gig Video iPod, and for some reason iTunes says that it cannot copy a video podcast that I subscribe to to my iPod. It also says that an album booklet for an album I bought cannot be transferred over. I am able to transfer over TV shows though. Why should it complain about the video pod casts or the album booklets? (External website removed by OpenLearn Moderator 09.10.12)
I seem to be destined not to receive the booklet! I too had problems ordering online and after several failed attempts resorted to trying the phone line but after a few weeks have passed and no booklet I'm back again. Delighted to find I could now download it (although I have similar problems to Eunice in that I find it difficult to read things on a screen) but better than nothing! But sadly when I tried just now the link is just taking me to the page asking for my postcode, which then goes no further!
Could you perhaps mail me the pdf or perhaps Eunice could send me her copy that she is not able to read! That would be wonderful!
Or are there any plans to do a re-print?
Many thanks and deep gratitude for a wonderfully insightful series

Hi Maya,
Can you please send your details through to the OpenLearn mailbox - openlearn@open.ac.uk and I will pass them onto the warehouse and request they send you a booklet asap.
Many thanks and apologies for the mix up.

Dear Eunice,
Thank you for your recent email regarding the booklet which accompanied the BBC Two series, Divine Women.
We appreciate the points you raised about accessibility and endeavour to ensure all our print support offerings are accessible to a wide audience. The University takes accessibility of our materials very seriously and your email has of course increased our awareness of this when working with designers on print items that accompany a broadcast.
As you may be aware, we do offer an online version which can be manipulated to increase accessibility i.e. increase the size of the page and the contrast on screen, this option can be found at the end of the ordering process.
Many thanks

I was looking forward to getting this booklet but cannot order it on line as cannot get past "enter your postcode" stage. Will ring instead.
Only caught part of 3rd episode and will have to try and catch up on iplayer if possible.
Update:
Sorry............got this sorted out. Using google chrome worked (not my usual browser) Thanks for the tip
Hi Ellen, glad you managed to get through, enjoy the booklet.
Many thanks

Thoroughly enjoyed this series and loved Bettany Hughe's informative and clear style of presenting. Series felt too short! Would love to order the booklet but cannot get past the print/post page. Looks like I will have to call.
Hi Pamela,
Thank you for your kind comment, I've passed it onto the team. We have had quite a few people having problems ordering the poster, we are suggesting they use either Firefox or Google Chrome as these browsers seem to work better, also just to let you know that if you do call you will be charged at your local rate.
Many thanks

I am not a religious person but found the Divine Women programmes unmissable. Bettany Hughes was an excellent historian and interviewer, sometimes with difficult people. I found the whole series highly interesting, informative and watchable. I will be watching any future programmes she makes.
Congratulations on the wonderful programme with Bettany Hughes this evening. Looking forward to having the booklet. Many thanks.
I cannot get passed the enter post code screen - any suggestions (other than an expensive phone call)?
Hi David,
Sorry you are having trouble ordering the booklet. You can try using either Google Chrome or Firefox as an alternative browser, people who use these seem to be successful in ordering the booklet. The phone call will be charged at a local rate and so shouldn't cost a great deal.
Many thanks

I cannot get further than putting in my post code - the link doesn't work for me either
I don't particularly want to phone
Do I have to use the link (that doesn't work) to get to the pdf?
Hi Anne,
Sorry you are having trouble ordering the booklet.
I'm afraid at the moment clicking on the link is the only way to get to the pdf, the team are looking to see if they can put it onto the page instead but it may take some time. You can try using either Google Chrome or Firefox as an alternative browser, people who use these seem to be successful in ordering the booklet.
The phone call is an answer machine where you are asked to leave your name and address, the call will be charged at a local rate. So if you can't get the link to work you are very welcome to call.
Many thanks

In these days of modern technology why is this not available as some sort of e-book / PDF file ?
Hi Peter, the booklet is now available to download and print off so click the link above, go through all the steps then you'll be given the option to have it posted to you or for you to print off.
Thanks! Tracy (OpenLearn team)
ooh. that was easy to download. i can put it on my kindle as well. i am wondering if the 'divine women' will be available on dvd soon after?
thanks.
Hi Anna,
I'm afraid that is a question for the BBC :-)
If you follow this link it will take you to their contact pages where you can send a question off to them - http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/contact/
Many thanks
