Description
Ellen Ann Willmott was a remarkable woman whose achievements in horticulture, botany, landscape architecture, photography and more, should have made her one of the most well-known trailblazers of her age. Yet, her reputation has been marred by a lasting image of her as a bitter and eccentric individual. This book sets out to uncover the truth behind the myths surrounding her life and career. Author Sandra Lawrence has been granted access to Willmott's archives, revealing a complex and fascinating individual who was both a trailblazer and a victim of circumstance. The book explores Willmott's life, including her relationships, her work, and the events that led to her reputation being so unfairly maligned. Through Willmott's story, we see a woman who was both talented and troubled, whose achievements were overshadowed by her personal struggles. This is a book that sheds new light on a forgotten genius, and invites readers to reconsider their understanding of this remarkable woman.
