A Good Week

There have been two highlights in the last week. Firstly, I attended the launch of Dark Aemilia by Sally O' Reilly (published by Myriad Editions); the story of Shakespeare's 'Dark Lady.' The novel was written as part of Sally's PhD. I have started it and can't stop reading - wonderful. Secondly, I gave a paper at a conference - Remembering and Writing Women's Wartime Lives. The conference was held at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire and was organised by the Midlands Region of the Women's History Network and the University of Worcester. After three years of work it was great to be able to share my research on women war workers and WW1 novels.
