I’m very surprised to read this because the reason you gave for rejecting the panel I proposed on medieval and early modern Ireland in a British history context was that there was not enough space. I am sad that this apparently means that premodern is not included in the conversation.

Today I was proud to give a copy of #NecessaryWomen to the South Australian Parliament Library! I had a fantastic tour from Frances Bedford of the Muriel Matters Society - here we are with a piece of the grille Muriel chained herself to during a suffragette protest in UK

Visiting the superb Harvard Art Museums today I was delighted to come across these small stern women, one with a little dog! - ‘Two Suffragettes’ by Michael Rothloff. The name must have been given later though, as suffragette was not used as early as 1902… harvardartmuseums.org/collections/... 🗃️
