HODs 2026 - Brighton & Hove Women's History Group talk by Sylvia Bluck
The Regency Town House, Hove, BN3 1EH
Sunday 13th September 2026 12:20PM
For HODs 2026, the Brighton and Hove Women’s History Group are giving three talks about some of the women who appear in their latest book.
Join Sylvia for an introduction to some of the local women who over the last 200 years have written novels, poetry, memoirs, hymns and a wide range of non-fiction. Some are still in print, like the novelist, Georgette Heyer (1902-1974), credited with inventing the Regency romance genre. Others have been forgotten, such as the diarist Evelyn, Princess Blücher (1876-1960), married to a Prussian aristocrat, who became a controversial chronicler of life inside Germany during WW1. Many others combined their writing with conventional domestic lives, while others were mired in scandal.
