Great blog on women at the British Museum. @beyondnotables.bsky.social has a (very!) long list of women associated in some way w/ the Museum between 1870-1950, including women lecturing at the Museum (many w/ explicit permission of Trustees), women using the Reading Room, & women donors

Bell was not alone! She had a lot of help from various people, including Agnes Ramsay, who had well over 20 years' experience travelling through Ottoman Turkiye by the time that Bell came to Binbirkilise to work with Agnes and William Ramsay & their local excavators.

Bell is, of course, in our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database bsky.app/profile/ncll... BUT critical to say that so are a number of other (far less well known) women who were also involved in archaeology in the areas that Bell is associated with.
