VICTORIAN SCIENTISTS & SCANDALS

​

The Conviction of Cora Burns was inspired by real lives and true stories from 19th century Britain. Carolyn's illustrated lecture focuses on three controversial Victorians: Arthur Munby, W.T. Stead and Francis Galton.  In their different ways, these obsessive social reformers went to scandalous lengths to document and change their world.

WOMEN WITH WINGS

​

When We Fall was inspired by women pilots in the Second World War. Carolyn's illustrated talk explores  the lives of 3 remarkable women pilots: a Polish officer, whose story is central to the tragedy of the Katyn massacre; a British pilot, whose father was a refugee from the Armenian genocide; and the only British woman pilot to fly into occupied Europe, and who later would be the first British woman to break the sound barrier.
