Online Talk: ‘A Grand Quarrel’ Between Elizabeth Gaskell and Florence Nightingale
What was the ‘grand quarrel’ between Elizabeth Gaskell and Florence Nightingale?
Join us online to find out why these two eminent Victorian women disagreed over the role of mothers, and how each represented a different kind of feminism – long before feminism became a recognised movement.
Author and psychotherapist Naomi Stadlen will explore the arguments that these two brilliant and original women put forth, and question whether we need to vote for one of them – or do we need them both?
