Explodingthe myth of womenin history
Starting at 11am at Tilling Green Community Centre the lecturer Vanessa King will be looking at the important role women played in pre-Tudor England.
Entitled Medieval Women – Nuns, Tarts, Trouble & Strife, Vanessa will explode a number of myths and stereotypes as well as, hopefully, change people’s perceptions in what promises to be a fascinating and stimulating day.
