Cultural historian Janina Ramirez is turning history on its head again.
Following the success of Femina – her instant bestseller exploring the Middle Ages through the women written out of it – her latest book, Legenda, looks at the flesh-and-blood women behind Europe’s national myths – warning against turning figures like Joan of Arc and Lady Godiva into ‘poster girls and propaganda tools’ for crafting national identities.
Join Ramirez as she uncovers the true stories behind the tall tales.
Chaired by Jean Menzies.
