Talks & Lectures | Isobel Wylie Hutchison, Scotlands Quiet Explorer
To mark International Women’s Day in March 2018 we invited acclaimed author Jo Woolf to discuss the life and work of pioneering woman explorer Isobel Wylie Hutchison (1889-1982). An inspirational figure, in the 1920s and 30s she roamed the lands of the high Arctic, living with Inuit families and studying their culture. Isobel Wylie Hutchison features in the NGS collection: http://ow.ly/AYKz50zaPaM and is one of the explorers featured in Jo’s book, The Great Horizon - 50 Tales of Exploration (Sandstone Press): http://ow.ly/Hn4i50zaPbl Hutchison was even the inspiration for Kingdom’s Albaura perfume: http://ow.ly/Dp1A50zaPbM
This talk was part of the BBC Civilisations Festival - a schedule of events across the UK to spark debate, broaden understanding and share ideas about what is meant by the term civilisation.
