This talk will explore life in the ‘Women’s Division’ or ‘Female Wing’ of Broadmoor during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. It looks beyond the reasons why women were admitted to discover what living in the Asylum was like. What did the women do with their days? How did they spend their time, and what did they read, talk about and argue about? Alongside the patients’ experiences, the talk will also consider the lives of the female attendants, their work, and their relationships within the institution.
2 - 3.15pm
£5 (£4 Berks FHS members)
