The Curious Case of Miss Fanny Fust
Published 8 years, 5 months ago
Description
Fanny Fust was a young learning disabled woman who was kidnapped and forced to marry a man who was after her fortune in 18th Century Bristol.
Her tale has been rewritten by an organisation called Openstorytellers who support people with learning disabilities. They use true stories about disabled people not only from history but from their own lives as well.
As part of Disability History Month, Openstorytellers Clemma Fleat and Nicola Grove chatted to Ouch’s Emma Tracey.
