An equality campaigner, she was recently commissioned to remap Scotland by Historic Environment Scotland and the resulting guide book ‘Where Are The Women?’ was chosen for the David Hume Institute First Minister’s Reading List 2019. Sara has also written 2 historical tie in books for ITV dramas – ‘Victoria’ and ‘Sanditon’. With her daughter, Molly, she co-founded feminist perfume brand, REEK.
