Thank you to @rebeccawynter @matthewrbroome @stinaface & all attendees of this brilliant salon, part of @unibirmingham's Mental Health Humanities Group. I discussed this jacket: made, stitched upon and worn by seamstress Agnes Richter when incarcerated at Hubertusburg asylum.

I am researching women walking alone, the impact this can have on creativity and social/safety implications of being a woman out on her own. Found Flaneuse by @LaurenElkin and @kerriandrewsuk’s book v helpful. Also Solnit. Any other recommendations gratefully received :-)
Delighted that my article "Comforts in Her Calamity: Shopping and Consumption in the Late Eighteenth-Century Private Madhouse" has been published in the fall issue of Eighteenth-Century Studies.

It was a real pleasure to talk with @Lucy_Worsley about my research on Margaret Nicholson. In August 1786, Nicholson became a figure of national intrigue after attempting to assassinate the king, spurring the creation of prints, paintings, poems, chapbooks & even a waxwork.
Black history lessons should be about more than Mary Seacole and the transatlantic slave trade

Honored to have written this article about Agnes Richter’s embroidered jacket and how it bridges costume/textile history and the medical humanities. Thank you to the lovely @AnnaFranJam for this opportunity!

Of interest to @CiCPod listeners - @TMATIConf2021 takes place today and tomorrow! @Han_Blythe's paper on the After Care Association gives fascinating discussion on the consequences of female confinement - including destitution, friendlessness and loneliness #TMATI2021
One woman was quoted as saying that “once it is known I have been in an asylum my occupation is gone”, and the social isolation of a long stay in an asylum caused great difficulties after their release. #TMATI2021
