Most Dangerous Women

Three items: Lady Jane Grey was used by men of power when she was alive and male propagandists when she was dead. A film about her will be released next month. What interpretation do its makers offer of the 16 year-old girl who was beheaded for treason. Peter France shows how close the leaders of a woman's international peace movement came to getting the most powerful men in the world to stop the First World War in the middle of 1915. Peter France reveals how one woman artist left a vivid record of the domestic surroundings of her time simply because she was denied the opportunities freely available to her male contemporaries.
