Sheila Rowbotham discusses the late-19th century, an era when liberalism, feminism, socialism, and anarchism intermingled with mysticism and alternative approaches to dress, health and sex.

Eccles British Library Writer in Residence, Sheila Rowbotham talks about her group biography Rebel Crossings: New Women, Free Lovers and Radicals in Britain and the United States. The book traces the interweaving lives of six iconoclastic women and men: Helena Born, Miriam Daniell and Gertrude Dix from Bristol, Robert Allan Nicol from Dunfermline, the Irish Mancunian, William Bailie from Belfast and Manchester and Helen Tufts from Boston.

This introduction to her new book is visually illustrated and followed by a drinks reception, informal discussion and book signing.
