Plucking Women's Lives (and Messages) from the Shorelines of History

Season 5, Episode 65

In this episode, Linda and Bryn Turnbull discuss her new historical novel, The Paris Deception - and what it means to represent women's lives historically when there has been inadequate records or representation for them.Linda considers the Indigo Girls and their song about Virginia Woolf - and listening attentively to the voices of women through time. Turnbull alludes to The Monuments Men (both the movie and the book) and her novel as an equivalent for women to such a story. Among other topics, we address necessary deceptions (18.56), significant visual art work still missing since the Second World War (21.30), and women as scapegoats during Second World War (27).
