Notorious Women of East Sussex

Our talk will be 'Notorious Women of East Sussex' by Louise Peskett.

Louise has worked as a Guide and Museum Teacher at the royal Pavilion and Museums in Brighton for 21 years. 10 years ago she put together a walking tour based on Brighton and Hove's women's history. This became an instant hit at the Brighton Festival and was featured in many newspapers, magazines and on BBC radio 4's Woman's Hour. She has also written columns and articles on local history and women's history for publications such as Sussex Life, the Brighton and Hove Independent, Jane Austen's Regency World and Herstory Magazine. Louise's book, The Fearless and the Fabulous, a Journey through Brighton and Hove's Women's History', was published in January 2021. She also lectures about women's history and related subjects to Women's Institutes, U3A and other groups.
