🗝️ Where were women hiding in history?
While often erased from official records, women have always loomed large in myths, legends, and fairytales. From goddesses and fairies to witches and warriors, these medieval stories reveal the feminine as a powerful, desirable, and dangerous force — one that both challenged and upheld social norms.
Join Dr Jennifer Farrell (University of Exeter) for a fascinating dive into folklore, gender, and medieval imagination.
