Roger Illsley on Wrighting Wrongs
Join Roger Illsley for a fascinating look into Dundee's history.
You may not have heard of her before, but Frances Wright was a pioneering and controversial social reformer born in Dundee. At a time of revolution and revolt in the early 1800s, her influence was felt across Scotland and the USA, so much so, that she was inducted into the American Women’s Hall of Fame. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into Dundee's history and Scotland's place in the world through the lens of Frances Wright and her influential family.
This limited-edition volume has been written, designed, and printed in Dundee, and includes 160 pages of stunning illustrations, bound in a high-quality stitched and casebound format. Only 400 subscriber copies have been made available.
Proceeds from the event and book sales will be donated to the Dundee Carers Centre.
