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.
