WOMEN WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE – TALKS AND WORKSHOPS

\n

TRAILBLAZING WOMEN – INSPIRING STORIES

\n

I love introducing audiences to the inspiring stories of remarkable women who people my books.

\n

Feedback from my talks

\n
 \"Absolutely outstanding - we found her to be an engaging expert speaker. Thoroughly recommended.\" Micheldean Women's Institute (2025).
\n

\"Thank you so much for coming to speak to us on Saturday. Your talk was fascinating and the audience absolutely adored it.\"           (Clare Paul, on behalf of Islington Heritage.)

\n

Many thanks for your wonderful lecture this evening. I found it a fantastic overview of Amelia’s life and legacy.\" (Carl Graves, Director, Egypt Exploration Society.)

\n

\"We have received really nice feedback. Everyone enjoyed your presentation. The interest was evident from the stimulating question and answer session.\" (David Biggs, Chairman, Tamworth Civic Society.)

\n

\"My sister Susan and I were among your audience last night for the talk about Amelia Edwards. Thank you for an interesting presentation...the time passed quickly and easily, evidence of enjoyment.\" (Alan Boyle, Leannta Publishing.)

\n

\"Congratulations on a brilliant talk.  You were one of the best speakers ever on the programme and I have been attending them for years.\" (Professor Marie Mulvey-Roberts, University of the West of England.) 

\n

\"Wonderful lecture!\" (William Joy, Director of the Peggy Joy Egyptology Library, Michigan.)

\n

 

\n

Teaching and Talking

\n

I received my PhD from Purdue University in the United States in 1989. My last teaching post was as a Senior Lecturer at the University of the West of England, Bristol. I've also taught in the US and in Egypt, in writing programmes at Goucher College, and community colleges on Long Island. My first full-time position in America was as an Assistant Professor in the English Department at Central Washington University.

\n

Since retiring from full-time employment in 2008, I've given all my time to writing and giving illustrated live talks about inspiring women.

\n

Each of these adventurous women made a difference in her society. Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians, ruled a kingdom, personally fought Vikings in battle, and founded towns in the Midlands: Warwick, Tamworth, Stafford, Shrewsbury ... The black American Civil War spy Mary Richards, posing as an illiterate slave in the home of rebel president Jefferson Davis, gathered valuable military intelligence that helped the Union win the war. Writer and traveller Amelia Edwards made ground-breaking contributions to the cause of Egyptology, while campaigning for votes for women. Each, in her own way, defied traditional expectations of her, and changed her world for the better.

\n

I build my talks around Powerpoint slides based on the books, giving a narrative thread that helps keep the audience (and me!) entertained and focused.

\n

Interviews

\n

A few years ago I gave several interviews to local BBC radio stations, mainly about Founder, Fighter, Saxon Queen: Aethelflaed Lady of the Mercians.

\n

Workshops

\n

Besides the presentations to large audiences, I also offer small-group workshops on \"Writing the Life\" – on practical skills involved in writing biography and memoir. Topics covered include: choosing a subject; exploring resources; interviewing; crafting the story; and, for some groups, copyright issues and finding a publisher.

\n

For details of past public talks and interviews, see the list below

\n

Travelling to speak

\n

I've travelled widely in the UK to share presentations and conversations about the subjects of my books. When not living in Stroud, I spend part of each year in Egypt, where I have given several talks on Women's History. If invited to travel to speak, in the Middle East or elsewhere in the world, I would be delighted to do so. Though I prefer face-to-face talks with a live gathering, I can also, with appropriate technical support, give successful presentations on Zoom. (For online talks, please contact me to discuss details.)

\n

Fees

\n

Negotiable - but usually £50 for a one-hour session (plus travel expenses, and any overnight accommodation).

In appreciation of a figure ahead of her time, it examines her involvement in suffrage and animal rights societies as well as revealing new insights into Edwards’ loving same-sex relationships with Ellen Rice Byrne and Lucy Renshaw. In doing so, it reveals a versatile, creative, witty, independent woman, and a true pioneer of her time.","isbn":"9781350293953","cleanIsbn":"9781350293953","asin":null,"cleanAsin":"","authorId":3490,"listOrder":2,"bookTypeId":2,"bookType":{"text":"Non-fiction for adults","listOrder":11,"id":2,"createdOn":null,"createdOnDisplay":"","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"","createdBy":null,"modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"bookTypeDisplay":"Non-fiction for adults","image":"/images/books/21-09-00-24-5539-book-.jpg","imageDisplay":"/images/books/21-09-00-24-5539-book-.jpg","imageOnExternalSite":false,"imageWithoutFilePath":"21-09-00-24-5539-book-.jpg","authorsLink":null,"quantityAvailable":0.00,"allowDecimalQuantityAvailable":false,"price":0.00,"priceDisplay":"£0.00","retailPrice":0.00,"retailPriceDisplay":"£0.00","showRetailPrice":false,"weight":0.00,"taxable":false,"ableToBuy":false,"redirectUrl":"https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781350293953","publisher":null,"publishedYear":0,"pages":0,"language":null,"coAuthors":null,"id":5539,"createdOn":"2024-03-21T09:45:33.9094399","createdOnDisplay":"Thursday, 21 Mar 2024","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"21 Mar 2024 09:45","createdBy":"jonesmargaretc@yahoo.co.uk","modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},{"title":"Founder, Fighter, Saxon Queen: Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians","titleAsUrl":"founder,-fighter,-saxon-queen:-aethelflaed,-lady-of-the-mercians","blurb":"Alfred the Great's daughter defied all expectations of a well-bred Saxon princess.

Jones calls for reexamination of the relevance of Masses feminism to that of the 1990s.","isbn":"9780292740273","cleanIsbn":"9780292740273","asin":null,"cleanAsin":"","authorId":3490,"listOrder":10,"bookTypeId":10,"bookType":{"text":"Educational","listOrder":5,"id":10,"createdOn":"2018-02-18T16:51:51.747943","createdOnDisplay":"Sunday, 18 Feb 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Feb 2018 16:51","createdBy":"Seed Method","modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"bookTypeDisplay":"Educational","image":"/images/books/01-09-00-05-6237-book-.png","imageDisplay":"/images/books/01-09-00-05-6237-book-.png","imageOnExternalSite":false,"imageWithoutFilePath":"01-09-00-05-6237-book-.png","authorsLink":null,"quantityAvailable":0.00,"allowDecimalQuantityAvailable":false,"price":18.99,"priceDisplay":"£18.99","retailPrice":18.99,"retailPriceDisplay":"£18.99","showRetailPrice":false,"weight":0.45,"taxable":false,"ableToBuy":false,"redirectUrl":"https://www.waterstones.com/book/9780292740273","publisher":"University of Texas Press","publishedYear":1993,"pages":227,"language":"English","coAuthors":null,"id":6237,"createdOn":"2026-10-01T09:59:51.2465129","createdOnDisplay":"Thursday, 01 Oct 2026","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"01 Oct 2026 09:59","createdBy":"info@contactanauthor.com","modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]}],"bookTypesDisplay":"Educational, Non-fiction for adults","organisations":[{"text":"British Association for American Studies, British Association for Victorian Studies, Society of Authors","listOrder":0,"authorId":3490,"organisationUrl":"https://www2.societyofauthors.org/","id":1888,"createdOn":null,"createdOnDisplay":"","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"","createdBy":null,"modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},{"text":"Egypt Exploration Society","listOrder":0,"authorId":3490,"organisationUrl":null,"id":1890,"createdOn":null,"createdOnDisplay":"","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"","createdBy":null,"modifiedOn":null,"modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]}],"engagements":[{"authorId":3490,"date":"2024-10-08T00:00:00","fullName":"Em Ricciardi","fullNameAndDate":"Em Ricciardi : Tuesday, 08 Oct 2024","fullNameAndOrganisation":"Em Ricciardi (Library Company of Philadelphia)","firstNameAndOrganisation":"Em (Library Company of Philadelphia)","organisation":"Library Company of Philadelphia","organisationOrNameIfNull":"Library Company of Philadelphia","email":"ericciardi@librarycompany.org","address":"1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA","postcode":"19107","fullAddress":"19107","fullAddressOrEmailIfPresent":"ericciardi@librarycompany.org","phone":"(215) 546-3181","contactDetails":"e: ericciardi@librarycompany.org p: (215) 546-3181","engagementClientType":null,"engagementType":{"text":"Talk","listOrder":1,"active":true,"id":3,"createdOn":"2018-02-18T17:16:23.228582","createdOnDisplay":"Sunday, 18 Feb 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"18 Feb 2018 17:16","createdBy":"Seed Method","modifiedOn":"2020-04-22T10:12:34.5868731","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"22 Apr 2020 10:12","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"curriculum":{"code":"Adult","text":"Adult","codeInBracketsIfNotNullAndNotEqualToText":"","textAndCode":"Adult ","listOrder":10,"id":8,"createdOn":"2018-03-28T08:10:52.510172","createdOnDisplay":"Wednesday, 28 Mar 2018","createdOnAndTimeDisplay":"28 Mar 2018 08:10","createdBy":"joe.ratzer@outlook.com","modifiedOn":"2018-03-28T08:09:48.330336","modifiedOnAndTimeDisplay":"28 Mar 2018 08:09","modifiedBy":null,"brokenRules":[]},"message":"Every year in October, The Library Company of Philadelphia Charlotte Cushman Society hosts a lecture for LGBT history month.
