Born in 1831, Dorothea Beale transformed girls’ education as head of Cheltenham Ladies' College, creating a rigorous curriculum to match boys' schools. A GSA co-founder, she also founded St Hilda’s College, Oxford, to train women teachers. Her legacy inspires us today.

Very appropriate for #iconicimages @FrenchatLeeds since we’ve just covered death motifs in early European art. Very cool mirroring here.

Extraordinary solved cold case. Archeologists just announced that French poet Joachim Du Bellay (who died in 1560 aged 35 and whose poetry French children are still familiar with) has been identified in one of the two coffins discovered during the reconstruction of #NotreDame https://t.co/939Es4Tbfw via @lemondefr
