From November 1889 through March 1890, Amelia Edwards gave over 100 lectures all over the northeastern US, and as far West as Chicago and Minneapolis, exciting interest in Egypt everywhere she went. Alongside her every step of the way was her secretary, assistant, hair and makeup artist, and friend, Kate Bradbury. Using Bradbury’s letters home during the tour, newspaper reports, and Edwards’ lectures, this presentation outlines their journey and their impact on Egyptology in the US. This will be both in person and on zoom (time is GMT). See the link for more details and to register.
