Learn about Gertrude Bell – Writer, Traveler, Archaeologist, Explorer on April 4 at Milton Public Library

On Tuesday, 4/4, at 7:00 p.m. Historian Bob Begin will give an in person talk called: “Gertrude Bell – Writer, Traveler, Archaeologist, Explorer.”  March was Learn about Gertrude Bell – Writer, Traveler, Archaeologist, Explorer on April 4 at Milton Public Libraryand although this talk is happening in April, we encourage you to come join us in person to celebrate all those amazing women out there!  Gertrude Bell was a very admirable female explorer and writer who accomplished so much in the Middle East, although she was expected just to stay home as a traditional wife and mother during that period.

She lived from 1868 to 1926, and played a major role in establishing the modern state of Iraq, because of her good relationship with tribal leaders and her unique travel perspective, through extensive travels to Syria-Palestine, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and Arabia.
