Hallie Rubenhold
Hallie Rubenhold is the Number One Sunday Times bestselling and Baillie Gifford Non-Fiction prize-winning social historian whose expertise lies in revealing stories of previously unknown women and episodes in history.

Rubenhold’s books include Lady Worsley’s Whim, dramatized by the BBC as ‘The Scandalous Lady W’, and Covent Garden Ladies - The Extraordinary Story of Harris’s List, which inspired the ITV series ‘Harlots’. She has also written two acclaimed novels of female intrigue, revenge and betrayal - Mistress of My Fate and The French Lesson. She lives in London with her husband.
