Retro RHLSTP 100 - Dr Janina Ramirez
#373 The End of History - Richard has more terrifying news about butterflies and his son’s attempts to follow in his footsteps. His guest is the only person who can follow Paul Chuckle, historian and broadcaster Dr Janina Ramirez. They talk about (hopefully) living through a major historical event, the incredible range of inspirational Goddesses, how we’re able to discover more about the history of regular people (and women) by shifting traditional focus, what it’s like to handle (and drop) incredible historical artefacts, the slice of luck that preserved the Sutton Hoo treasure, how to escape a crocodil...

Why Writing Women Back into History Matters - Janina Ramirez
Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/IJT3B9WZntcRediscovering remarkable historical figures such as the Birka Warrior Woman, Hildegard of Bingen, and King Jadwiga offers a fresh perspective to understand an era often dismissed as 'nasty, brutish, and short'. Rather than being exceptions, this lecture will reveal the considerable influence and power held by medieval women and shed light on the gradual erosion of female agency over subsequent centuries. Through their rediscovery, it will interrogate traditional historical narratives and construct more nuanced, inclusive accounts that reflect the richness, complexity, and diversity of the...

What Was Going On In The Middle Ages? with Dr. Janina Ramirez
Warrior princesses. Gender-bending Vikings. Nuns who were writing about orgasms and writing world-class music. This week, Dr. Janina Ramirez is taking us back to the 400s—and introducing us to the baddies of the Middle Ages. What did people think about abortions? Did Vikings really wear horned helmets? And why is this period anything but a dark age? Dr. Janina Ramirez is a cultural historian, broadcaster and author based at the University of Oxford. Her research began with a degree in English literature at Oxford, followed by an MA and PhD at the Centre fo...

Zeichen & Zeiten: Janina Ramirez – “Femina” – eine Rezension von Constanze Matthes
„Es gab sie noch immer, diese Welt in ihrer erfreulichen Mittelmäßigkeit.“ „Ob nun vergessen, übersehen oder absichtlich herausgeschrieben – es ist ein Wunder, dass überhaupt weibliche Stimmen erhalten geblieben sind.“ Femina – so hießen im Mittelalter Randnotizen, die in Büchern auf Texte hinwiesen, die von Frauen verfasst worden sind. Dabei sind weibliche Stimmen im Lauf der Jahrhunderte bewusst unterdrückt oder gar entfernt worden, wird die bis heute andauernde Sicht auf die damalige Zeit ihnen nicht wirklich gerecht. Die britische Kulturhistorikern sowie Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaftlerin Janina Ramirez wirft in ihrem großartigen Buch „Femina“ einen anderen Blick auf das...
