Modern Portraits for Modern Women: Principals and Pioneers in the Royal Holloway and Bedford New College Art Collection

To celebrate the launch of her new book Dr Imogen Tedbury joins us to talk about the early female principals of Bedford and Royal Holloway Colleges and the artists who painted their portraits. These women were pioneers in women’s higher education and role models for their students. The book and this accompanying talk is part of a wider project to explore these paintings and includes an online exhibition and a series of short films.
