Following her fascinating talk for the Chawton House Lockdown Literary Festival, Bee Rowlatt joined Clio O'Sullivan, Communications & Engagement Manager of Chawton House, for an interactive Q&A on Zoom.

In the Footsteps of Mary Wollstonecraft:

216 years after Mary Wollstonecraft travelled through Scandinavia in search of a missing treasure ship, Bee Rowlatt, author, journalist and architect of the ‘Mary on the Green Campaign’, followed the same path set by Wollstonecraft through Norway. The journey resulted in Bee’s book In Search of Mary, which she discusses in this interview with Clio O’Sullivan of Chawton House. Escape lockdown with the OG feminist!
