As we celebrate Women’s History Month….I would like to show that women had more to do with the creation of modern Middle East than people realize…….

Gertrude Bell is a fascinating character…..that in my opinion was a more capable person than good old T.E. Lawrence……but since at that time was a woman and therefore not as important as the lying traitor Lawrence…..this woman’s story would make an excellent historical movie….but alas she will go down unappreciated by an ignorant world…..
