Yet, here's a perfect example of a woman who danced to the beat of her own drum, to coin a clichéd expression. I'm sure that if authors can imagine it, history can often support it if we look hard enough. Thanks for the reminder that truth is often stranger than fiction.

I imagine there were more than one or two men who were relieved when she died and some crimson history could be safely forgotten.Beppie Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585518256785448583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-42538795028957438462015-06-02T11:04:12.934-04:002015-06-02T11:04:12.934-04:00Thanks, ladies!

I couldn't get everything in, but I thought it interesting that when she was sent to Scotland at the age of ten, she'd think nothing of running down the street naked, so that's when she got shipped to England and finally to a private boarding school with a high wall. I like reading about women who skirted the edge of society's demands.<br />Kathleen Bittner Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761002274808484634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-69584685138422056542015-06-02T10:40:13.661-04:002015-06-02T10:40:13.661-04:00Wow, better than fiction!!!

I've found writing my own historical fiction that the more research I do, the more interesting my story becomes--because the possibilities of what could actually happen in that time and place open up. Thanks for sharing Lola's amazing life story!Jean Michelle Miernikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971882597502010124noreply@blogger.com
