A guest blog by Dr Tom Harrison, 2020 Library Fellow:
At the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival, IASH launched the crowdfunding campaign for our brand-new book Dangerous Women: Fifty reflections on women, power and identity. This is the next stage in the legacy of the Dangerous Women Project (2016-2017) in which we asked 365 writers to reflect on ‘what it means to be a dangerous woman’. Today, the book is fully funded - a remarkable achievement in this tumultuous year!
