About our speakers
Natalie Haynes is a Sunday Times bestselling author; broadcaster and – according to the Washington Post – a rock star mythologist. Her books include Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myth, Stone Blind, and now the acclaimed No Friend To This House. This extraordinary reimaging of the myth of Medea is “an illuminating and often thrilling work of feminist reclamation” (The Guardian). Natalie is a regular on BBC Radio 4 and her show, Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics, is now in its 11th series.
Bee Rowlatt is a writer whose books include One Woman Crime Wave, and In Search of Mary, a travelogue inspired by Mary Wollstonecraft that won the Society of Authors’ K Blundell Trust award. She programmes cultural events at the British Library and is a former broadcast journalist for BBC World Service. She is Chair and founding Trustee of the Wollstonecraft Society, and was recently awarded an MBE for services to women’s rights.
