Über diesen Titel

 Feminist period drama podcast. Each episode, we break down how women are presented in a different historical film or TV show. A historian tells us how that period drama has changed our understanding of real women from that time period. Were corsets really as grim as TV tells us? Have the makers of Bridgerton ever opened a history book? Have the makers of Gladiator ever spoken to a girl? We shall discuss all this and more, while fangirling over Keira Knightley at any given opportunity.

  • Not crazy about the crusades

    Not crazy about the crusades
    Jun 4 2024
    The 2005 Ridley Scott epic Kingdom of Heaven is really a Kingdom of Hell for anybody who is not a straight white rich man played by Orlando Bloom. Once the only female character appears an hour in, we'll discuss the fetishisation of Middle Eastern women in cinema. We speak with Natasha Hodgson, who is an Associate Professor in Medieval History at Nottingham Trent University. She knows pretty much everything there is to know about the real queens of Jerusalem, who were way cooler than the character Eva Green is stuck with playing in this film. We also pick our favourite medieval queens, because despite what Hollywood tells you, women did actually do stuff before the 1500s.

    Our favourite is Olivia Colman

    Before Taylor Swift ignored Joe Alwyn's whining in The Tortured Poets Department, Emma Stone ignored Joe Alwyn's whining in The Favourite (except with even more corsets and ballgowns). We look at what The Favourite (2018) tells us about 18th century lesbians, who, despite what your school history textbook told you, funnily enough did exist. Heather Rose Jones from the Lesbian Historic Motif Project tells us how likely it is that Queen Anne slept with her ladies in waiting (hint: very). We get to the bottom of why there are so many less films and Doctor Who cameos with Queen Anne than there are other English queens, including the total personality vacuum that is Queen Victoria.

  • Jane Eyre (+ that wife in the attic)

    Jane Eyre (+ that wife in the attic)
    May 21 2024

    Reader, we look at the film Jane Eyre (2011). Kate Walker from the Brontë Parsonage Museum tells us all about how the author Charlotte Brontë's siblings influenced the original novel. We discuss what the hell is going on with that wife in the attic, and why Jane Eyre is studied so much in schools. Charlotte Brontë's true calling was as a BookTok dark romantasy writer and we will die on this hill (or moor?) We plot our escape plan from Mr Rochester while wearing our swishiest skirts.


    The Brontë Parsonage Museum is open over the summer from Wednesday to Monday, 10am to 5pm. You can witness where the Brontës lived and get the full Jane Eyre experience!
