Faculty bio
Margaret H. Willison
Instructor (she/her)
Margaret is a writer, podcaster, and full-time faculty member with Not Sorry Productions. She is one third of the inaptly named Two Bossy Dames newsletter, one third of the Appointment Television podcast, and a regular guest on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast. She is completely unsure who she would be had she not been introduced to Jane Austen at a formative age, and has considered extensively which of Austen's heroines would most benefit from therapeutic invention (Fanny Price, closely followed by Elinor Dashwood).
She has led three Pride and Prejudice pilgrimages for Common Ground (two in Derbyshire and one virtual) and taught a number of classes focused on Austen’s work for Not Sorry Productions.
