New blog post from our Cardiff PhD @LizhiHoward

This programme is packed full of great talks, including Emma Cavell as part of a panel on 'Diverse Women's Histories in Wales' on Sunday with @uzoiwobi Trish Skinner and Norena Shopland 🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🕯️🇺🇦🕯️ womensarchivewales.org/en/news.htm?id…

As a medievalist, I love this. In the Middle Ages women's bodies were seen as empty vessels, textual surfaces, blank canvases on which meaning was imposed often violently, their identity written on their bodies. This is a reversal of that practice. HER own words define her.

The New Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women is now published. And in paperback so almost affordable :) Congratulations to all contributors!

Preparing for our Swansea History MEMO research seminar next week, the final event of the project. The ultimate challenge: summarising our results and reflections into 3 slides each, a difficult but very useful task!

Nice to see decent recognition of the role of women in medieval business on yesterday’s trip to the lovely National Trust Paycocke’s house in Coggeshall. A shift in public history away from invisible role of married women to business partnership and knowledge.

Great to hear more about WelshWomensAid #40Voices40Years project at Swansea University yesterday - a really important project for the history of women and the women’s movement in Wales. Mini exhibition is in Swansea University Libraries and Collections now!

Interested in how historians go about their research to uncover the voices & agency of women? Then you should come to this 👇🏽 Also thrilled to be taking part in this panel that promises insights into the stories of women who were spies, samurai and colonial settlers.

Emma Cavell's new EHR article on widows and the law in thirteenth-century Wales in is available online now! academic.oup.com/ehr/advance-ar…

This looks like a brilliant resource!

Delighted to share the programme for 'Women and Materiality in Medieval and Early Modern Scotland', a one-day symposium IASH, Edinburgh on Friday 26th April 2019. Sign up below. Places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment! eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-and-ma…

You have a few more weeks to submit abstracts for this 👇🏽 Thanks to Royal Historical Society Economic History Society WCom Econ Hist Soc we have funding to cover costs of speakers, as well as PGRs+ECRs to attend. We're especially keen for abstracts from those working on women/empire beyond the British Atlantic 🌎

Very exciting start to the morning receiving the cover design for ‘Town Courts and Urban Society’ from Boydell & Brewer. Can’t wait to see the real thing this summer, especially as it features a whole chapter on my favourite medieval Nottingham woman Agnes Halum!

Huge congratulations to our PhD student Rebecca! 🥳

Including a chapter on Agnes Halum, a brewster from Nottingham, and her litigation in the borough court 💃🏽

Our project is technically finished, but the publications keep coming!
