Isabella Blow was the eldest child of the 12th Baronet of Broughton.The tragic death of her brother at the age of two left the family without an heir to the 300 year-old title, and led Isabella into new and uncharted territory in a choice of career in her adult life.
Even today, the aristocracy still differentiates between the sexes over inheritance. In this talk, Isabella Blow’s biographer Lauren Goldstein Crowe will join the sponsor of the Equality Bill, Lord Lucas, and Geraldine Harmsworth, daughter of 3rd Viscount Lord Rothermere and a childhood friend of Isabella’s, to discuss how her family’s history shaped her experience. Hosted by curator Shonagh Marshall.
