Auto/biographies by/about women on Audible - recommendations please!

[IwantToRetire]

Have only recently started using Audible, and had a short list of books I listened to.

After that I realised I wasn't sure what to listen to next. I saw the Casual Vacancy (JKR) which although meant to be funny was so despressing about women's lives as wives, daughters, lovers, workers, I nearly didn't finish. So depressed.

So was hoping for recommenations for auto/biographies by/about women. Not saying I want anything light and fluffy, but something which has some positivity even if hard times along the way.

(Not against other recommendations whether crime, sci-fi, or whatever, but thought it might be nice to be inspired.)

Have some credit so happy to take the plunge into something unknown to me.

Many thanks.

Edited to add, not against anything discussing feminism, but have FWR for that!

Killjoy by Jo Cheetham, the story of how she got involved in the campaign to end Page 3 in The Sun. Funny and honest.

@weegiemum I read other biographies about Gertrude Bell and some other women explorers, too, and while their own writings have to be seen the light of their time, they all were quite exceptional to go outside the prescripted boundaries for women at the time.

Great suggestions

Spellbinding. Incredibly sensitive and accurate use of language. Funny. Moving. Profound.

What a woman. What a writer. Think I am in love!

I really enjoyed both of Kate Mulgrew's autobiographical books (Born With Teeth, How To Forget). Such a fascinating life, and it shows how even with a very successful career as an actress, she still had to deal with distinctly female obstacles, from controlling partners to unplanned pregnancies, from juggling both life as a single mother and caring for her mother with dementia, both whilst leading one of the big star trek shows of the 90s, all whilst under scrutiny of the producers who doubted a woman could do the job. She's a great writer, too.
