Episode Synopsis
Send us a textApologies for the hiatus that gripped me through Winter. Will be touching more on this in the next full episode.Apologies also for the horrendous pronunciation of certain words, for example, notoriety and Latin names of plants. (A blooper reel will be coming out with me stumbling over such words)This lady was known in the plant world, literary world, and Art world. She also dabbled in geology and was remembered as a woman who didn't conform to the women of that era. Opting for trousers instead of the frilly dresses, hats, and gloves of that era.References:https://www.kurrajonghistory.org.au/millstones/wm_2015_01.pdf - article on Fernhursthttps://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/mueller-sir-ferdinand-jakob-heinrich-von-4266https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/atkinson-caroline-louisa-2910https://www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/bsparcs/biogs/P000072b.htmAllen, J.
