ERO Presents: Thou Savage Woman
Former police officer and historian, Blessin Adams, will introduce us to her bold, page-turning new history of traitorous wives, greedy mistresses, cunning female poisoners and spiteful witches.
Jon Blessin at this Essex Book Festival event where she share stories of women whose violent crimes shattered the narrow confines of their gender – and whose notoriety revealed a society that was at once repulsed by and attracted to murderous female rebellion.
This event will include an audience Q&A and after the event there will be an opportunity to get your book signed by Blessin.
