In this essay, specially written for the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Rubenhold offers a powerful critique of the idea that history is only the story of ‘heroes’ – often wealthy, educated men. Instead, she argues, social history can be a form of activism, grabbing us by the lapels and taking us into the fascinating lives of our forebears regardless of rank, class, creed, colour or gender.
