 Female Characters – Writing Women back into History

Thursday 20th November at 18:00. Adam House, Chambers Street, Edinburgh

Imogen Robertson, Samantha Norman and Sara Sheridan

History is full of fascinating characters, male and female, who have for generations been dismissed as irrelevant by the historical establishment. Now a new approach to social history is beginning to make some of their stories available and historical writers are finding new perspectives and people with which to populate their fiction and enthral their readers. Come to hear three female writers of historical fiction discuss what inspires and informs their writing and how they bring the women of history back to their rightful place - centre stage alongside the men.
