New online event – The Everyday Tudor Woman
In my latest six-day event, I will be joined by two other Tudor historians, Brigitte Webster and Bess Chilver, in delving into the life of the 16th century common woman and unveiling what it was really like to be a woman during the Tudor period.
I’m so excited by this event because as interesting as it is to look at the lives of the Tudor queens and Henry VIII’s six wives, it’s wonderful to spend time looking at how the average woman lived.
The event will run from 25th-30th April and will comprise video talks and live video Q&A sessions with the experts via zoom. The zooms are always brilliant, my favourite part! So much so, that we also have four zoom discussion calls leading up to the event, and the first one is this Sunday, 10th March!
