Independent Women: Courtesans & Prostitutes in the Georgian Era

In this talk, Hallie Rubenhold sheds new light on the exploitation and abuse of women which transformed the work of artist Joseph Highmore in the 1740s. A critically-acclaimed author, social historian, broadcaster and historical consultant for TV and film, she has written two works of non-fiction; Lady Worsley’s Whim which became the 2015 BBC Two drama, The Scandalous Lady W and The Covent Garden Ladies, which served as the inspiration for the ITV Encore series, Harlots. Part of the Bloomsbury Festival.
