Author, lecturer, and Charles Dickens expert Lucinda Hawskley on the diverse, powerful and fascinating women in the works of Dickens.

Charles Dickens is often accused of writing only unbelievably compliant and domesticated women in his novels, but many of his female characters have very strong personalities and fascinating lives, reflecting the strong and interesting women Dickens knew. 

Lucinda Hawksley is an author, art historian, broadcaster, lecturer, and an expert on the writings and the life of Charles Dickens, of whom Hawksley is also a descendant, being the great-great-great-granddaughter of the celebrated author.

The event is in English.
