Feisty Females: Writing Lincolnshire’s Women

Feisty Females: Writing Lincolnshire’s WomenWith writer and journalist Rosanna McGlone

Historical fiction lives in the fascinating space between fact and imagination. Join acclaimed writer and journalist Rosanna McGlone as she explores how real-life stories of remarkable medieval women inspired her latest collection, Feisty Females.

Drawing from The Great Cowcher Book—a 14th-century manuscript second only to the Domesday Book in historical importance—Rosanna brings to life figures such as Nicholaa de la Haye, Alice de Lacy, Hawise de Quincy, and Gwenllian.

In this lively and thought-provoking talk, Rosanna shares how she approaches historical research, the creative challenges of writing historical fiction, and the ethical line between truth and storytelling. Is it ever okay to bend the facts?

Perfect for lovers of history, readers of historical fiction, and aspiring writers alike, the evening will include a live reading from Feisty Females, an audience Q&A, and a chance to have your book signed by the author.
