Lecture: Women in Cornwall

Exploring and representing women’s culture in Cornwall We have all heard of Trevithick, Trelawney and Q but what about Hocking, Hobhouse and Cade? This lecture explores some of the rich stories behind the women that influenced how Cornwall is understood today and how important their stories are to Cornish identity, heritage and culture. This lecture will put women of Cornwall, their lives and work, centre stage. It will begin with a look at women in a range of fields, who we may or may not already be familiar with, before focusing on literary women who have written about Cornwall. Who are they and what is the significance of the versions of Cornwall they create in their work to understanding women’s culture in Cornwall.
