In the twenty-first century\, even those who do not know her name always recognise her face: she is Millais’ doomed Ophelia and Rossetti’s beatified Beatrice. (Author’s notes) \nLucinda’s DOSI Lecture will bring her life back into focus \nRevisiting Princess Lou \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n	\n\n\n\n\n \n\nKatey Pugini\n(nee Dickens)\n29 October 1839 – 9 May 1929 \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nKatey Perugini was the daughter of Charles Dickens\nAs ‘Kate Perugini’\, her art has been largely ignored or forgotten about\, a typical fate of Victorian female artists. Her male peers\, many of whom were considered less accomplished than she during their lifetimes\, are still talked about today. (Author’s notes) \nLucinda’s DOSI lecture will bring light to her memory.\n(Lucinda herself is a great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens making Katey her great-great-great aunt) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n	\n\n\n\n \n\nPrincess Louise\nDuchess of Argyll\n18 March 1848 – 3 December 1939 \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n‘Princess Louise\, Duchess of Argyll was the sixth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. In her public life\, she was a strong proponent of the arts and higher education and of the feminist cause. She was an able sculptor and artist\, and several of her sculptures remain today. She was also a supporter of the feminist movement\, corresponding with Josephine Butler\, and visiting Elizabeth Garrett. ‘ ( Wikipedia extract) \nLucinda’s DOSI Lecture will explore this third intriguing\, truly ‘Victorian’\, Artist.
