Devotees of Susan Holloway Scott's historical novels will, I think, enjoy getting additional perspective on the women who populate those stories. Lucy Worsley, who has hosted a number of interesting series we've highlighted on the blog, this time takes us on a time travel adventure titled Harlots, Housewives and Heroines: A 17th Century History For Girls. This is the first part. It's a full length program, so please set aside an hour.
I really enjoyed this documentary, but it is actually a three-part series: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA68719C24317E985
