This year we are talking to women who are writing both fiction and non-fiction history, hearing about what they are working on, how they got to where they are today, and why they are passionate about their topics. Part 1 went up last […]

Women’s History Month 2021: Celebrating Female Historians (Part 1)

Today is International Women’s Day, and as women’s history is a passion of mine, and one of the main focuses of Just History Posts’ blog posts, I usually do a piece in celebration of this. In the past I’ve written about female highway robbers or done a retrospective look at some of the blog posts […]

Women of Just History Posts Part 2: International Women’s Day 2020

Two years ago today I compiled a post exploring six of the blog posts I have written about women in honour of International Women’s Day. I decided today was a great chance to revisit this idea and have a look back at some of the fantastic women we have explored over the past few years. […]

Historical Figures: Ada Lovelace, The First Computer Programmer

I have been meaning to write about Ada Lovelace for a very long time, and as today is Ada Lovelace day I figured what better excuse to start my new series on important historical figures of the past with her. The day falls on the second Tuesday of every October, and was founded in 2009 […]

Women of Just History Posts: International Women’s Day 2018

As today is International Women’s day, and women hold such a huge focus in my blog, I thought it would be remiss of me to not do a post to celebrate. Over the past year and a half I have written about plenty of amazing royal women, and I am hoping to soon expand into […]

Fashion as Liberation: Edwardian Women’s Hatpins

“No man, however courageous he may be, likes to face a resolute woman with a hatpin in her hand.” When you think of fashion, you probably think of a variety of things. Superfluous trends, silly styles, strange catwalk concoctions. However, whilst fashion has been ridiculed for centuries, over many periods of history fashion has been […]

Royal People: Anna Komnene – Historian, Physician, Byzantine Princess

When people think of medieval princesses, they often think of an almost fairy-tale like person. A beautiful young woman who was married off at a young age to a foreign prince, traded as a political pawn, with little agency of her own. Of course, this was often far from the truth, and one such example […]

Legendary People: Lady Godiva

This is the first post in a new series I’ve been wanting to start for a while now. With medieval history in particular, there are lots of figures who have taken on legendary status. Some of these may have had real, historic roots, whilst others were purely fictional, but in the centuries since people have […]

Stand and Deliver, Your Money or Your Life: Female Highwaymen of the Seventeenth Century

As yesterday was International Women’s Day, I couldn’t resist writing a female-related post, and for this one I drew inspiration from a local legend in my area of the ‘Wicked Lady’. If you happen to pass through Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, you will probably notice a pub with the same name, and may hear the legend of […]
