Hello #Histodons!

I'm a historian of the (long) #18thcentury, esp. women's history, & the history of love & sex

My latest book was about the scandalous c18th Byron family (#HouseOfByron), & I'm writing my next following three women through the French Revolution

Expect #dogs, #books and rude old pictures 🤓 #Introductions
