This month, in Potted Histories, the UC Teece Museum’s latest blog article explores the nature of a personal interaction recorded in the travel diary of Miss Marion Steven in 1958.
Roswyn Wiltshire completed a PACE internship with the Teece Museum transcribing the travel diary.
The process of translating, interpreting and researching the diary entries revealed some fascinating new angles to Marion’s story.
Roswyn contemplates whether the story of Marion’s journey might also shed light on the challenges faced by female academics post World War II.
