Choose one of Marlene’s dinner guests – Isabella Bird, Lady Nijo, Dulle Griet (or Dull Grit), Pope Joan, or Patient Griselda. Find out a little bit about her and suggest reasons why Marlene might have wanted to include her. How do aspects of her life/history/etc work with what you can detect so far of Churchill’s themes? What does she order for dinner, and what might that tell you about her?
NOTE: if you have done all the blog questions so far, technically you can stop here. Remember you are going to be marked for the best ten out of all of them. However, even if you do not do any more formally, make sure you read the questions and think about your answers, as they all tie in with things that may turn up on the final exam. Also you WILL be marked on the best 10, so here’s your chance to make up for any lower results.
