#14 One Woman and Her Hunt for Dinosaurs & A Huge Talent Working In Miniature

Welcome back to Mostly Unsung! Be warned this episode is a very weird one and you enter at your own risk! It's time for two more historical biographies with your podcast besties.Join Annie as we get to talk all about our favourite dinosaurs (Triceratops and Diplodocus if you were wondering) and show a complete and total lack of scientific knowledge of electricity. We're meeting a lady searching the Dorset cliffs for fossils and changing the understanding of prehistory.Then come along with Andrea who is travelling the country with a very talented woman getting overlooked because of her physical differences. Everything changes when she turns 30 and a wealthy patron helps her out of the sideshow and into the drawing rooms of royalty where she proves that disability doesn't mean you can't live your dreams.Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Biffinhttps://blogs.bl.uk/untoldlives/2022/04/the-early-life-of-painter-sarah-biffen-.htmlhttps://philipmould.com/exhibitions/31-without-hands-the-art-of-sarah-biffin/https://artuk.org/discover/stories/sarah-biffin-the-celebrated-nineteenth-century-artist-born-without-arms-or-legsAnnie used these sources:https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/mary-anning-unsung-hero.htmlhttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Mary-Anninghttps://www.geolsoc.org.uk/the-library/online-exhibitions/women-and-geology/mary-anning/Where you can find us:https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/https://www.tiktok.com/@[email protected] you next Wednesday!
