Why, across history, have great civilisations tumbled? How do we prevent our own civilisation suffering the same fate? & what do women have to do with it? Thanks to @ArthurLewisLab @OfficialUoM for making my Hajnal Prize Lecture available online youtube.com/watch?v=CSQe9P_U… #Economica

I am delighted to be speaking at the very first Tewkesbury History Festival this June. This brand-new event is bringing the past to life right in the heart of one of England’s best-preserved medieval towns, and the lineup is fantastic – covering a range of different time periods and topics.
I’ll be taking the stage on Sunday 21 June at 1pm to discuss Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy. I’d love to see you there for what promises to be an incredible four days of storytelling and discovery #tewkesburyhistoryfestival

Thanks to @thetudortimes for the fabulous review of Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy.
‘When is a queen not a queen? When she is a king! This fascinating stud of female rulers across the globe from ancient civilisations to the present day has a gem on every page’
‘Norton’s work takes us on an immaculately-researched journey of discovery’
‘But this is not just a list of women who wielded sovereign power, it is a carefully constructed exploration of how they obtained that power, how they used it, and, sometimes, how the lost it’

I can only echo these words - it's a terrific book!
I was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of The Countess by @jehannewake and Katie Wake, to be published by @IthakaPress on 25 June. Here are my comments:
With a political career spanning sixty years, Emily Cowper helped to shape the nineteenth century. In The Countess, Jehanne Wake and Katie Wake bring this important woman to life, shining a light on the political agency achieved by some women in an age where they had few legal rights. Vividly and clearly told, this is essential reading, illuminating not just the life of this powerful figure, but also a career that was almost unprecedented.

Fun fact. When Emma of Normandy arrived in England to marry Aethelred II in 1002 her name was considered too foreign. It was therefore changed to the much more normal Aelfgifu.
Strangely, Aelfgifu as a baby name seems to have completely died out #aelfgifu #emmaofnormandy

Happy World Book Day! My latest book is Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy, which looks at women and power from the dawn of recorded history. I spent years researching this as well as visiting places and archives associated with the women from all over the world. Available in all good booksellers 😀 @wearefootnote
