Nora Barlow - A Modern Cambridge Victorian And 'The Many Lives of Modern Woman'

Later I found that as a young woman studying at Cambridge University she had done genetics research with William Bateson and published two papers in the Journal of Genetics in 1913 and 1923. The intent of this essay was a synthesis of a review of Many Lives of Modern Woman, a view of a Victorian 'modern' woman, who in her action exemplified not only modernity but also a particular view of leadership and social justice, topics of interest in this issue of the Journal. Within that life, I have presented a vivid illustration of her struggle with issues of social justice and one resolution lying in a long personal and intellectual relationship with a WEA tutor, Sidney Argent and his wife.
