The Middle Ages are seen as a bloodthirsty time that oppressed and excluded women. But five years of research by BBC historian Dr Janina has produced FEMINA: A New History of the Middle Ages, Through the Women Written Out of It. Spanning 1,000 years, the Oxford lecturer re-examines extraordinary women like Hildegard of Bingen and lost figures like the Loftus Princess and the Birka Warrior Woman to uncover their incredible impact.
This event is sponsored by St Helen and St Katharine
