  • Episode 11: Women's (Medieval) History Month, with Lorna Webb

Lorna Webb joins the podcast for a look at how women are represented in Early Medieval/ Old English literature for Women’s History Month! We talk about Beowulf (obviously) and Lorna makes host Emily try to answer some rather rude riddles. You might be surprised at the breadth of female representation on display!

This episode features some descriptions of women that are not suitable for children.
