From Pamela to Kamala. The true enemy is misogyny. Again and again. Why I’ve written a trilogy of books about women traduced by history setting the record straight. There’s much much more to do. My piece theguardian.com/commentisfre…
This is an avengers assemble of a panel. What a joy to have these three incredible authors in the one spot talking about their amazing work. 👑 @soniapurnell #Kingmaker @ViragoBooks
We have a jam-packed September of events with something for everyone - don't miss out!
We’re thrilled to welcome a fantastic panel including Sonia Purnell, Anne Sebba and Clare Mulley as they discuss forgotten women in history and politics.

Before reading this book, I thought of Pamela Harriman as a helmet-headed socialite. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

So glorious in the flesh. “With a historian’s eye for rigor, a journalist’s for detail , and a storyteller’s for drama, Purnell is extremely persuasive…”! @soniapurnell @ViragoBooks @VikingBooks @unitedtalent

Very much enjoyed being interviewed by Andrew Robinson, history master at Eton, at #WindsorFestival. Great to discuss #Kingmaker with someone who gets the path between Pamela Harriman and Kamala Harris

This is your casual reminder that Amazon is not always the cheapest option. Buying your books (and other things) from local and independent sellers has so many benefits.
It’s the gold foil that does it for me. That and the absolute majesty of @soniapurnell and her writing. @ViragoBooks
