Join electric voice theatre and Chelmsford Theatres every Monday to celebrate Essex’s splendid women of science! Part of the Echoes from Essex Minerva Scientifica festival.
In eight weekly episodes of music, art and conversation, historian Patricia Fara and modern scientists will discuss the achievements and frustrations of Essex’s female pioneers. Two special editions in September will feature music, art and science created by local people over the summer.
Episode 2. Elizabeth Tollet: Stratford’s Scientific Poet
Isaac Newton praised her achievements, yet the poetry of multi-talented Elizabeth Tollet (1694-1754) expresses her resentment at being unjustly excluded from the male world of science.
The event includes a BSL interpreter.
