 |  | | | Dorothea Bate | 2 July 2005 | | |
Celebrated Victorian palaeontologist
Why would a young Victorian woman defy her parents, risk injury, endure physical hardship, dirt and toil?
In the case of Dorothea Bate it was all for the love of fossils. She ended up as an internationally known palaeontologist but her work was largely forgotten after her death.
Martha meets Karolyn Shindler, author of new biography "Discovering Dorothea".
