Danielle Free presents
The Conditions For Courage
We are delighted to welcome guest storyteller Danielle Free to the club.
Three women. Three acts of defiance. One untold history.
Celtic women are often remembered as fearless warriors and heroic
leaders...but does this tell the whole story?
Storyteller, Danielle Free, reclaims the lives of three remarkable European Celtic women:
- Chiomara, who turned her captor's arrogance into a deadly trap;
- Camma, a Priestess of Artemis who outwitted her husband's killer; and
- Eponina, who defied the Roman Empire all in the name of love. Untangling their stories from Plutarch's virtues, ancient politics and Roman propaganda,
'The Conditions For Courage' reveals the very real women behind the stereotype, women who risked everything in the face of personal adversity.
There are no fairy tale endings here.
Expect powerful, gritty stories of women who defied expectations in the name of love, loyalty, respect and revenge.
History is retold. Her story is reclaimed. Courage is redefined.
