She’s engaged in many an amorous congress and she’s always the subject of salacious gossip. She’s been given a million different names – strumpet, bawd, jezebel – but not a single one is complimentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistory would have us believe it is in a woman’s very nature to sin. From the moment \u003cb\u003eEve\u003c\/b\u003e defied the word of God with a bite of an apple, to \u003cb\u003eAnne Boleyn’s\u003c\/b\u003e troublemaking in the Royal Court, all the way to the media massacre of \u003cb\u003eMonica Lewinsky\u003c\/b\u003e in the late 20th century, countless women have been branded and slandered with the damning label of ‘Whore’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut ‘whore’ or ‘harlot’, ‘tart’ or ‘tramp’, ‘floozy’ or ‘fornicatrix’, each woman has her own story to be told.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatie Charlwood’s\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhores, Hussies and Harlots\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration into the ‘fallen women’ of history.
