This is an early draft, which was originally written for publication in the Bolton School Old Girls' Association Magazine. For some reason, Substack 'froze' it after I uploaded it but before I coukd adapt and extend it. So I have subsequently been unable to edit/update it. Please therefore forgive any copyediting mistakes and non-sequiturs. And do let me know if you have any idea how to unfreeze Substack! I will be posting an update of this article on a different platform at some point because as well as freezing, Substack has also not displayed some illustrations. (Am not a happy bunny, as far as Substack is concerned. WordPress is much easier/more intuitive.) Will add another comment saying where to find the proper, updated version.
