‘What is a bed for but to die in?’ asks angry, dead Emily Brontë.

We snuggle down to participate in bed adventures with five bold women who decimate convention to be themselves. We question Emily’s analysis and love our bedbound women and the lives they reveal.

The Young Queen Victoria, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Charlotte Brontë
, Florence Nightingale and Emma Hardy, with the help of family and acquaintances, how themselves to us through their bed tales.

Please come to discover what has drawn our women to their beds and share their secrets …
