Historical Fiction: Unpacked


Illuminating Women in History—with Karin Tanabe

May 12, 2022

Karin Tanabe and I talked about her book, A Woman of Intelligence, which released last summer. In this episode, Karin shares that she wanted to write about the difficult aspects of motherhood. We also discuss the inspiration for her novel, the fact that the protagonist is based in part on American spy Elizabeth Bentley, and how historical fiction is a lovely way to learn about history.
