Hannah Snell - A life too fantastical to be true?

This week on Consistently Eccentric we are discussing the life of a poor Georgian woman who enjoyed 15 minutes of fame due to a sensational biography and her willingness to wear pants.When she was abandoned by her husband Hannah Snell decided that she was not going to take it lying down. So (according to her) she borrowed a set of her brother-in-law's clothes and headed off in hot pursuit as 'James Grey'... A name which was also borrowed from her brother-in-law.According to her biography what followed was nearly 5 years of deception which included stints in both the Army and the Navy as well as trips to India and Africa... but just how reliable were her stories? And would she ever actually find her husband so she could give him a piece of her mind?Guest Host: Evie Heathcote Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
