What goes on Behind Closed Doors

Join us as we visit 18th Century Dublin via the memoirs of Peg Plunkett: courtesan, survivor, businesswoman and someone who knew what cards she had to play. In 18th-century Dublin, Peg Plunkett scandalised society, outwitted powerful men, survived poverty and violence, and then did something extraordinary, she wrote her own story.This is a remarkable memoir of a clever woman who, given very limited options, managed to create a life of excitement, glamour, culture and adventure. She was the woman who knew what went on behind closed doors - you would not want to get on the wrong side of her. Woe betide you if you did or you would end up in her memoirs and everyone wanted to read those. This is a public episode.
