Returning to Aberystwyth from Edinburgh today, I had time to peruse the Sunday Times (London that is) at my leisure. There was a fascinating article about Gertrude Bell (who referred to T. E. Lawrence as "Dear Boy") and who warned the British government that the Palestinians would never give up any land to create an Israeli homeland.
Her story is an absolutely fascinating one. May we perhaps add her to our list of women about whom we should know more?
