An amazing Victorian woman who just took for granted that she could do anything a man could do ( and usually did it better)! Born into a well-heeled rich northern family, she was able to indulge her passions for mountain climbing, archaeology, languages and travel. But perhaps her greatest achievement was the creation and the setting- up of the modern State of Iraq. This presentation traces her life.
