AWW Reframing the Classics - Natalie Haynes

With her acclaimed BBC radio series just commissioned for a
seventh series, broadcaster, author, stand up comedian and
classicist Natalie Haynes is celebrated for taking those pillars
of our cultural understanding, the Greek myths, and retelling
them from the female perspective. Her novel, A Thousand Ships,
centres Creusa’s experience of the Trojan War and in her most
recent book, the eloquent and witty essay collection Pandora’s
Jar, Natalie “gives voice to the women, girls and goddesses who,
for so long, have been silent.”
