Gloucester History Festival Special #4 - Janina Ramirez on Erased Medieval Women

Today we have a fourth special for you from our place as podcasters in residence at the Gloucester History Festival, and joining Paul today is Author, Medieval Historian, President of the Gloucester History Festival and Raider of the Lost Past, Janina Ramirez. Janina has come to rage about the women actually erased from history..

We hear about the Queen of Wales, the reinvention of Margery Kemp, the origin of the phrase 'a woman's place is in the home' and how medieval women had lives, industries and were not this second sex..

You can, and should, read Nina's book on this subject and this is available in the History Rage Bookshop and you can follow Gareth on Twitter @drjaninaramirez
