Letters from Baghdad plot
"She was as controversial as the history she made."
At a young age, British Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell (1868-1926) showed an independent spirit: she studied in Oxford, smoked and got on the underground alone. That was only the beginning of her journey of discovery. As a young archaeologist she traveled through the Middle East, where she mapped the many tribes and cultures. Her knowledge proved invaluable when the boundaries in the complex region were redefined after World War I. Letters from Baghdad is her own story, recorded in the many letters to the home front and read by actress Tilda Swinton.
