Janina will be talking at Wimbledon BookFest on Sunday, October 18 at 3:30pm.

Join her for a talk on her latest book, Legenda, as she uncovers the flesh-and-blood women behind Europe’s national myths from Joan of Arc and Lady Godiva to Isabella of Castile. She will discuss how their stories have been misrepresented, twisted and weaponised over centuries. This event explores how history is so often hijacked to serve the ideological and political interests of the present.
