1/7 Spanning 3000 years, from the first stirrings of Minoan Crete to the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, #TheMissingThread by Dr Daisy Dunn is a fantastic guide to ancient (especially Greco-Roman) history through an incredible cast of women who inhabited and often shaped it.

Some splendid stacks of #TheMissingThread paperback out and about. These are in Waterstones Piccadilly, London and Hatchards. My book has to be more entertaining than Tony Blair’s at least… W&N

I think this is the best interview I’ve done so far. Dr Daisy Dunn had so many thoughtful and illuminating things to say about how women have been erased from history, the challenges of restoring them to live, and writing histories of the ancient world. open.substack.com/pub/mathewlyon…

Had a fascinating chat with Dr Daisy Dunn about her remarkable book The Missing Thread for the Aspects of History pod. We talked about Artemisia & Olympias, two of the most impressive women of antiquity. Wherever you get your podcasts...

I didn't know that 'opening Pandora's box' is also used as a Russian idiom, re Vassily Nebenzia's speech. (Forgive me for momentarily diverting my attention from the bigger, more frightening picture right now).
