Speaking of theaters, I’ve mentioned Mary Robinson in my books, most recently in Accidentally His. (She was also the inspiration for Byrne’s actress mother in One Night with a Prince.) A fascinating Regency woman, she was Prinny’s mistress, a celebrated actress, and a trend-setter in society. Most importantly (for me), she was a published poet, novelist, playwright, and writer of feminist treatises. Her works are still studied today. She also happened to be beautiful, something which gained her four different portraits by famous artists (two by Gainsborough!). So, I had to give a little nod to her in my novels. She helped pave the way for women writers like me!
