Historian Katie Charlwood is a historian, presenter and podcast host based in Ireland andthe U.K.
After closing her comic book store during the pandemic and having a little bit more time on her hands, Katie leaned back in to and actually utilised her degrees in history and sociology.
This friendly neighbourhood social-scientist aims to alter the perception of history out with the limited viewpoint provided by the pale, male and stale historians whose antiquated views are as dusty as their tomes!
Katie’s ferocious appetite for digging into the depths of history and challenging the preconceived notions of historical figures, places and events have made her a force to be reckoned with.
If you like angry feminist rants of the comic-historic persuasion, then you’re in the right place!
But it’s not all horrible history here, Katie has even been known to roll her sleeves up and ask the hard-hitting questions like “Could Cinderella Actually Wear Glass Slippers to a Ball?” or “What Really Happened to D.B. Cooper?”
Whatever your historical proclivity, from dark history, debunking myths, or bringing people back into the narrative of their own tales, you’ll find it here with Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books.
