As both intrepid cultural detective and compelling storyteller, Jacky Colliss Harvey weaves a fascinating history beginning with the moment the redheaded gene made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora. by Jacky Colliss Harvey Format:Hardback Pages:240 pages, 3x8pp colour plate section Publisher:Atlantic Books Publication Date: ISBN:9781838956950.

Red-haired men, meanwhile are consistently associated with either the savage barbarian or the redheaded clown. Popular stereotypes of redheaded women range from the fiery-tempered vixen and the penitent prostitute-Mary Magdalene is often portrayed in art as a redhead-to the fun-loving scatterbrain Lucille Ball.
