Ladies of Leisure

In summer 2021, Srutokirti Basak and Lydia Smith, students of the University of Oxford, undertook an internship with Chawton House. This placement was brokered by the Heritage Partnerships Team and organised through the Careers Service's Summer Internships programme. We would like to celebrate their work by featuring their article, which was originaly published in the Chawton House’s digital publication, The Female Spectator 5.2 (Autumn, 2021).

You can access the full issue here and read this article here:
