I have had a few notes from Quizzers wondering about the identity of the upper class lady who was a friend of T.E. Lawrence.

I saw this in the Sunday Times Book Review which inspired me:

Daughter Of The Desert
The Extraordinary Life Of Gertrude Bell
Howell, Georgina

At a time when women were still largely excluded from both education and the workplace, Gertrude Bell was an archaeologist, spy, Arabist, linguist, author, poet, photographer and mountaineer, but until the Iraq War of 2003 few people had heard her name.
