Join us to celebrate the launch of Marion Taffe's By Her Hand

Wednesday 12 March, 6.30pm
Readings State Library

Join us to celebrate the launch of Marion Taffe's By Her Hand.

By Her Hand is a powerful story, that delves into themes of survival, resilience, and forgotten female leadership in 10th-century England. It follows Freda, a young girl whose life is upended by a Viking raid, as she forges an unlikely bond with Æthelflæd, the real-life warrior queen of Mercia. The novel explores the silencing of women, the fight for agency, and the enduring relevance of female leadership in a patriarchal world.

Kelly Gardiner will do the launching honours.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
