Come and join Author and Historian Kirsty Stonell Walker and hear her talk about some fascinating Pre-Raphaelite Women.
Fanny Cornforth was a Victorian Supermodel whose face epitomised the vision and life of Pre-Rapaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
Stunner; The Fall and Rise of Fanny Cornforth reveals a woman who flouted Victorian rules and fought against a society designed to stifle her passion and personality.
Kirsty is quoted in an article in the Guardian this week thus; "Fanny is the patron saint of overlooked women, she is in the background of so many stories about other people, and she seems to have vanished without trace into the shadows".
Kirsty is to be one of the Speakers at this year's Julia Margaret Cameron bi-centennial conference in Portsmouth
