In the iconography of the Peninsular War of 1808-14, women are well represented - both as heroines, such as Agustina Zaragosa Domenech, and as victims, whether of starvation or of French brutality. In history, however, with its focus on high politics and military operations, they are invisible - a situation that Charles Esdaile seeks to address.
