“Make some new content” they said. “You’ve been off socials on this secret project. You need to reconnect,” they said. “But how?” said I. I’m old & rubbish with technology. Then it hit me. I have invested 16 years in bringing up teenagers who have ALL the skills. They made this…

Ich les grad "Femina" von @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social, und auch die Geschichte, wie Margarete Kühn den Riesenkodex, der die gesammelten Texte von Hildegard von Bingen enthält, aus der russischen Besatzungszone geholt hat, ist ein echter Thriller. Bistudeppert.

#LegendaHalloween is here! You could be Greek naval admiral Laskarina Bouboulina, Italian mystic Catherine of Sienna, Irish Spanish spider-dancer Lola Montez, or Byzantine princess historian Anna Komnene. Use your imagination, get creative, tag me in your photos and videos, and use the hashtag!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! @holmfirthartist.bsky.social you will be getting a signed copy of Legenda plus shiny new tote and bookmark!! Thanks for ALL your comments. A was the conclusive winner for both. Lots more fun Legenda stuff coming up so watch this space….

It was my immense honour to be at the launch of The Singh Twins’ new exhibition at Kew Gardens. I’ve written the introduction to the catalogue for ‘Botanical Tales and Seeds of Empire’’. You must get along to see it - meanwhile revel in their work 😍😍😍 lovely to see @willdalrymple.bsky.social too x

I’m back on the Beeb! Tune in tomorrow and come with me on an art historical adventure!

I need your help!!! We’ve got some stunning merch for Legenda coming up, but can’t decide on the quotes. Which do you think? If you comment and share your choices - A or B - you could win a copy of the book, plus your very own bag and book mark!

I will soon be holding physical copies of my new book baby Legenda and I’m so proud of it. I’m trying to be brave in writing this, just like the women in the book xxxx please consider preordering here lnk.to/LegendaBook

The Indie dinner to reveal Legenda was one of the most magical experiences ever. Balliol provided the fantastical setting, I gave a personal tour of Oxford, we manifested legendary women in our readings and ate dishes inspired by Joan of Arc, Marie of Oignies, Lady Godiva and Queen Victoria!

Dear friends and followers. I know I’ve been pretty absent on social media. There’s a good reason I promise. I’ve been involved with such a high profile project I’ve not been able to share. But I feel I’ve neglected you. You’ve always been so good to me. I’ll start drip feeding😜

I had a stunning gift delivered to my college but no name?!?! Please tell me who this is from!!

Tickets are selling fast for @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social LEGENDA event at the Sheldonian Theatre this November. Tickets £10 or £30 including a copy of LEGENDA Book your place @blackwells.bsky.social now : www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1425793800...

In ten months I’ve filmed in over 25 countries. I’m knackered. I’m eternally grateful for a) a darling husband b) the internet c) writing deadlines which make long flights good use of time. I work to feed my family, to spread the things I love & to educate in a way that empowers. I need a rest….

Here we go…. You MUST come & see me on tour!! This is an important book. It’s tackling something that matters, not just in terms of our relationship with the past, but also where we are in the present. On your marks. Get set. Go! linktr.ee/JaninaRamirez

Exciting that the Bayeux Tapestry is coming to England! If you wanna know about it, here's a fun BBC You're Dead To Me episode we did about it, featuring expert historian @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social and fab comedian Lou Sanders www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

I’m going live on Instagram in 30 mins! www.instagram.com/drjaninarami...

Dear lovely wonderful followers! It’s been six months of keeping quiet (which is not my usual state!) and I know I’ve been hiding off the radar. But I’ve got a big announcement tomorrow at 11am and I’d love it if you’d keep a look out…. Sending love x

Watch this space….

Still on this big secret project which I’m just dying to tell you about!! But yesterday I was scaling a cliff face in 40 degree heat in the jungle. It was the hardest days filming I’ve ever done! But my AP just gave the best compliment: ‘you looked like Lara Croft in a jumpsuit!’

Writing a book is a lot like child birth. Excruciating at the time, but then you look back having blocked the whole process from your memory.

Sometimes I envy the ability of certain writers to command words far more perfectly than I can manage. Ian Dunt, I salute you!! #StupidTrump

🚀 Want to be a historian? Make your own path! 📚 @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social says history isn’t just about facts—it’s about following your instincts. 📍 Gloucester History Festival, 25th – 27th April 2025! 🎟️ Tickets here: www.gloucesterhistor... #gloshistfest25

Perhaps it’s because I’m excited about filming in India. Or maybe it’s seeing people, both on micro & macro levels, choosing to be good. But I’m really thinking about Karma & how my actions can bring about positivity. I hope I live my life well & that the Wheel of Fortune is kind

Super niche call for help. Anyone out there capable of looking through an online 1859 text in Greek? I’m trying to find a specific quote in a text which I have in English. If you have a way of searching it Greek it might be easy?? You’ll have my eternal gratitude & an acknowledgement in new book!!!!
