Fascinating Historical Figures

History is full of outstanding, though sometimes overlooked characters. In this section, I introduce you to new people to know about - such as 18th century mouth-painter Sarah Biffin, 1700s Versailles theatre director Mademoiselle Montansier, or American hairdresser and abolitionist Christina Carteaux Bannister.

Alongside this, I also provide deeper insights into well-known figures, such as Lady Emma Hamilton and the impact of her theatrical style or Anne Boleyn.
