Happy September! Even though the summer here in Texas was pretty tolerable this year, I’m still looking forward to fall. And, if I’m being honest, I look forward to fall every year regardless of how bad the summer was!<\/p>\n

As a frequent source of fascination, the stories of the six women has repeatedly inspired writers and artists of all kinds to attempt to uncover the \u2018truth\u2019 of their lives: their characters, their appearance and their relationships. From historic paintings, drawings and ephemera, to contemporary photography, costume and film, the exhibition draws upon a wealth of factual and fictional materials to present the life, legacy and portrayal of six women who forever changed the landscape of English history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy September!
