Join us for an afternoon of poetry with Carol J Forrester at The Haunted Bookshop!
Mary Jones has been forgotten from history, but we find her listed among those punished for speaking during meals at the Oswestry House of Industry.
Placida’s legacy is the writing upon her gravestone, uncovered from Roman ruins in Shropshire.
Queen Amanirenas, Queen of Kush, fought the Roman Empire, led armies, lost an eye, a husband, and a son, yet is mysteriously absent from articles on the Meroë Head. A head she brought back to Meroë and buried beneath the temple in an act of defiance.
‘Stone Tongued holds’ the voices of a few who were forgotten, overlooked, or written out of history. Join us for a night of poetry and footnotes where we look at the women whose silences riddle our archives and history books.
