For thousands of years, women have been on the fringes of history and mythology. From “The Serpent Queen” Catherine De Medici, evil stepmother Kaikeyi in the Ramayana, and the seductive, church-destroying Anne Boleyn, the few women who have a place in our histories and mythologies are weak, bad, or evil. Recently though, many have started to interrogate and investigate the truth behind these stories, giving a new and modern perspective on the women we’ve been taught to hate.

On the face of it, writer Peter Clenott’s grandfather was guilty of committing the ultimate betrayal. He was a Harvard graduate, a World War One veteran, a decorated airbase commander in Iceland during the Second World War; and then in the years following, the chief prosecutor overseeing the conviction of 15 Nazis at the Dora Trial, held at Dachau concentration camp in Germany in 1947.
