Janina will be speaking at Edinburgh International Book Festival.

She will discuss her latest book, Legenda, looking at the flesh-and-blood women behind Europe’s national myths – warning against turning figures like Joan of Arc and Lady Godiva into ‘poster girls and propaganda tools’ for crafting national identities. Join Ramirez as she uncovers the true stories behind the tall tales. Chaired by Jean Menzies.

The livestream for this event will also be available on demand after the event ends.
