567. Historical Research and Ill Mannered Ladies with Alison Goodman

Alison Goodman’s new book, The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies is out this week, and you are definitely going to want to read this book - and listen to this episode! We talk about her book, of course, and about writing female-forward action scenes featuring “old maids.”We also talk about her recently completed doctorate, which was in historical fiction research methodology. So come for the Regency spinsters, and stay for the deep dive into research. This is a very fun conversation, which is fitting because it’s about a very fun book.A special thank you to Yazmine Hassan for setting up this interview!Music:Purple-Planet.com Join our Patreon for complete mayhem, shenanigans, and more!
