Over the past 20 years, I have been fortunate to travel to England a number of times -- have used the resources of the British Library, the Women's Library in London, and archives at the Imperial War Museum and the English-Speaking Union. I have seen where Elizabeth Banks and Mary Anderson and others lived. And I even found that elusive 1894 young woman's magazine, by pure serendipity, on a bookseller's display in Manchester! So it's been more than research -- all right, it's obsessiveness.
And now I am going to have the chance to share my research, taking it back to England. I am about to embark on a trip during which I am scheduled to give talks at the American Women's Club, the Bishopsgate Institute, and the Women's Library, all in London. In addition I am scheduled to speak in the gorgeous village of Broadway, in the Cotswolds, where Mary Anderson lived for many years. This is the culmination of a great deal of planning and I am very excited, especially about seeing people who helped me with my research so many years ago. Stay tuned for updates!
