Cultural historian Janina Ramirez is turning history on its head again- join her for a brilliant reappraisal of established narratives and the women behind the legends.
Her latest book, Legenda, uncovers the flesh-and-blood women behind Europe’s national myths from Joan of Arc and Lady Godiva to Isabella of Castile, showing how their stories have been misrepresented, twisted and weaponised over centuries. This event explores how history is so often hijacked to serve the ideological and political interests of the present.
‘Janina Ramirez is writing women back into history.’
