Women Transcending Boundaries

Description

The history of BIRI women scholars

Narrative

Women have always played a fundamental role in archaeology and shaped our understanding of ancient civilisations. Yet their contributions have often been obscured or overshadowed. This narrative explores how the British International Research Institutes ' (BIRI) archives reveal the interconnected lives and ground-breaking work of pioneering women archaeologists such as Eugénie Sellers Strong , Winifred Lamb , Yusra Al-Ḥaifawiyah and Kathleen Kenyon . Through the examination of letters, photographs, and marginalia, we can glimpse their personal struggles, professional triumphs, and the vibrant networks they formed in a male-dominated field.
