Imagine receiving a personalised love-anagram.
'Oh I'me all mercy'
From a BL volume that contained very juicy letters alongside the dry naval correspondence I was powering through.

A well wish from James II to his friend Thomas Butler in 1673: '[I] am very glad you escaped so well as you did, I hope it will always be your fortune to do so'.

Also, a prime example of female entrepreneurship, in my opinion, is Louise Renée de Kérouaille, who became one of King Charles II's mistresses. In 1681, she extracted £132,000 from the Treasury for her 'Secret Services'. A hussler if you ask me. (1/2)

It is an unusual example, but this is also entrepreneurship! A story of resilience and inventivity. I would love research into women like this in our WomCom Workshop. Sound familiar? Come present on the 12th of December.

On the subject of Women & Entrepreneurship, the woman of the week is Peggy Jones. A notorious mudlarker who was immortalised in this print. She utilised her knowledge of the river and its tides to scrape a living together. In her special skirt, she gathered valuables and coal, which she sold. (1/2)

Op Keti Koti dit jaar mag ik in gesprek met een geweldige line-up in het Teylermuseum in Haarlem, en ik hoop dat jullie komen luisteren!
O.a. in gesprek over: Hoe kunnen we Teylers investering in de slavenhandel plaatsen in een breder gesprek over erfgoed, musea, kennis, collecties en nalatenschap?
The real question is, will I make it through a second day in Cambridge without pronouncing Pepys as pep-is i.o. peeps (which I was convinced was correct for years)?
