Women Explorers of the Victorian and Edwardian Eras

The ESU-Princeton Branch Presents: 
A Talk on Women Explorers of the Victorian and Edwardian Eras

The Middle East captured the popular imagination of England of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and held a special allure for three women famous for their brains and courage: Lady Hester Stanhope, Lady Jane Digby, and Gertrude Bell, CBE. The exploits of these women explorers will be the topic of a talk by Ronald Schnur at the April 28th meeting of the English-Speaking Union of Princeton. Mr. Schnur is a popular presenter, whose talks to the ESU-Princeton never fail to educate and entertain.  He is a long-time Princeton resident, who, with his wife, Sandy, has traveled through Great Britain on numerous occasions.   


The talk will take place at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at the Center for Modern Aging, Princeton, 101 Poor Farm Road, Princeton, NJ.  The public is welcome to attend.  There is no charge for the talk, and refreshments will be served afterwards.  Questions? Email: princeton@esuus.org.
