Tessa is a freelance lecturer for The Arts Society along with other
organisations such as the V&A, English Heritage and the National
Trust. She’s the author of two books of social history: The
Housekeeper’s Tale – The Women Who Really Ran the English Country
House, and Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather – Fashion, Fury and
Feminism, Women’s Fight for Change. Her interest lies in uncovering
stories of invisible women of the Victorian and Edwardian
eras, revealing how they drove industry, propped up high society and
manipulated politics. Tessa has an MA in English Literature from
Oxford University, a diploma in Art History from the British
Institute of Florence, and has enjoyed a long career in journalism
for national newspapers and magazines.
