Dorothea Beale of CheltenhamGood Press, 2020 M01 9 - 923 pages "Dorothea Beale of Cheltenham" by Elizabeth Raikes uses the history that was left behind by Beale herself. Not only were all business documents, such as minutes of council meetings, nomination papers, examination questions carefully preserved, she also kept all letters which could be of any interest. She went further than merely arranging materials for a future book. As such, Raikes chose to honor this industrious woman by assembling her notes into an engaging and coherent biography. |
