The Women of Waterloo: From Ballroom to Battlefield – a NAM talk by Dr Catriona Kennedy

23 July 2015, 12.30 pm
 
Dr Catriona Kennedy looks at British women in Brussels at the time of the Battle of Waterloo, one of history's most well-known military conflicts. Ranging from aristocrats to military wives, women from varied backgrounds gathered in Brussels for a host of different reasons. Dr Kennedy's examination of their situations will provide an alternative perspective on the Battle of Waterloo and contribute to a wider discussion on women's lives during the Napoleonic Wars.
