Review: The Mitford Affair - Marie Benedict - January 2023  I don't normally enjoy reading historical fiction, but earlier this year I discovered that I love reading historical fiction based on real people and events, a bit like biographical fiction.

When it comes to the Mitford sisters, the only one I knew about because she was a writer was Nancy Mitford.

Who knows where I could be if only we had books like Rebel Girls in the 90s and early to mid-2000s? Working for the House of Science as an EA, I am now exposed to females in the STEM field and one...
