DrCiaranMcDonnFor <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> I'd like to share some of my publications: an article on the Catholic Irish Brigade in the British Army, another on the Irish Militia, plus chapters on the aftermath of the Battle of Vinegar Hill & a jump back to Crusader families in medieval Ireland.

MJ PorterToday is day 2 of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> I've written an introduction to my books over on my blog, <a href="http://mjporterauthor.blog/2022/11/26/welcome-to-history-writers-day-2022/…" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://mjporterauthor.blog/2022/11/26/welcome-to-history-writers-day-2022/…</a> And there's a competition to enter as well:)

Courtney Herber, PhDI've just learned it's <a href="https://dreamers-guild.net/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> - I'm a historian of performance, power, and gender with a focus on the early modern period in Europe. I've published on the power of consorts in Shakespeare, representations of Marie Antoinette in the 20th century, Mary I in contemporary chronicles, Katherine of Aragon, and the Werburgh Street Theatre. I'm working on a book on continental consorts in England and how they built and utilized power bases on the isle and abroad. <a href="https://dreamers-guild.net/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a>

Dr Lindsey FitzharrisI have a children's book coming out in Oct 2023. It's co-authored & illustrated by my husband, <a href="https://mastodon.world/@TealCartoons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TealCartoons</a>, and is all about medicine's battles with history's deadliest diseases. We'll be doing the cover reveal soon. We can't wait to terrorize your kids with medical history! <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>

Dr Lindsey FitzharrisIt's <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>, so I thought I'd tell you about myself. I'm a medical historian who's found herself in the role of the patient after recently being diagnosed with Stage II <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/breastcancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breastcancer</a>. I've written two books, both of which make me glad I live today and not yesterday.

Per Lineam ValliFinally, this week, I steeled myself as my 2nd Elite volume came out on Roman plate armour (see @OspreyBooks@twitter.com' offer <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ysk42cs6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/ysk42cs6</a>) and will be followed by a companion volume on mail & scale next year. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>

Per Lineam ValliIn the same year, my 1st Elite book on Roman shields appeared with @OspreyBooks@twitter.com (on offer at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2unb632r" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/2unb632r</a>) and now I was blazon a trail in a new series (like a boss!). <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>

Per Lineam ValliNext, in 2020 I took a swipe at that long Roman sword, the *spatha*, for my 3rd @OspreyBooks@twitter.com Weapon with some cutting-edge observations. Guess what? That's also on offer from Osprey (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/yytw5yzh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/yytw5yzh</a>). Steel yourself for more! <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>

Per Lineam ValliUndeterred, I went on in 2017 to produce a 2nd Weapon volume for @OspreyBooks@twitter.com on the *pilum*, that bendiest of heavy javelins, also on offer from Osprey (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/bhe77my6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/bhe77my6</a>). I think you might get the point. ;-) <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>

Per Lineam ValliIt's <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>! Back in 2016, I took a stab at my first @OspreyBooks@twitter.com Weapon volume on that most iconic of ancient infantry weapons, the *gladius* (currently on offer from Osprey: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2p92dz5h" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/2p92dz5h</a>). It was a little bit edgy. :-)

Caroline PennockTwitter informs me that it’s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a>! I have written two books. And, as I might have mentioned, 😉 the second one, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OnSavageShores" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OnSavageShores</a>, comes out in January! <a href="https://geni.us/OnSavageShores" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://geni.us/OnSavageShores</a> But actually, like most historians, a lot of what I write is articles, & loads of them are free online: <a href="https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/history/people/academic/caroline-dodds-pennock#journalarticles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/history/people/academic/caroline-dodds-pennock#journalarticles</a>

Judith MackrellI discovered amazing humbling stories about the intrepid women who battled to report from the front on WW2. Female voices in a male dominated war, and fabulous people to spend time with. <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoingWithTheBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoingWithTheBoys</a>

Judith MackrellWhen Sigrid Schultz was reporting on the rise of the Nazis, the source she manipulated into giving her the most damning evidence was Göring. "He helped me more than anybody' she wrote, although he wld shortly try hard to get her arrested. <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoingWithTheBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoingWithTheBoys</a>

Judith MackrellWhen Lee Miller was sent to St Malo in Aug '44 the city was meant to be liberated - in fact the Germans were still fighting & and for 5 days, Miller gloated, she was reporting on her 'own private war' <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoingWithTheBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoingWithTheBoys</a>

Judith MackrellClare Hollingworth was barely a week into her career as foreign correspondent when she sneaked illegally into Germany to gather information on Hitler's planned invasion of Poland. The morning of Sept 1 she scooped the story of that invasion <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoingWithTheBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoingWithTheBoys</a>

Judith MackrellWhen the military bureaucrats banned women from reporting directly on the Normandy Landings , Martha Gellhorn rode stowaway to Omaha Beach, and out-scoped her husband, Ernest Hemingway. <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GoingWithTheBoys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoingWithTheBoys</a>

Judith MackrellWhen Virginia Cowles first reported on the Spanish Civil War she wore a fur jacket & high heeled shoes. Martha Gellhorn thought she looked ridiculous but Cowles proved to be an astonishingly resourceful journalist & the 2 women became excellent friends <a href="https://c.im/tags/HistoryWritersDay22" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryWritersDay22</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GWTB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GWTB</a>
