Gertrude Bell was a lone woman in the male Muslim world of the Middle East, a famous author who wrote about the Arabs, an acknowledged archeologist, a courageous traveler who dined with china and crystal and dressed in extravagant clothes.
Gertrude was the first woman to be taken into the British Imperial Service as Oriental Secretary. She was the most powerful woman in the British Empire in the years after WW1. She achieved nothing less than a miracle by creating the modern state of Iraq.
