Thanks so much for your great videos! I loved the one on Amundson, but my favorite so far is the 1st one I saw, about Ibn Battuta. This one on Gertrude comes as a very close second, because she is exactly like I wanted to be, except for the forbidden lovers and their tragic deaths. It's quite amazing that you could produce such a volume of great work in such a short time, since you started this channel in 2021! BRAVO to you for your wonderful work ! ! ! And please don't stop!

Therese, I thought about this as it was laying down the groundwork of her background which was three generations of entrepreneurial wealth wherein a woman of that background could--if allowed by her family, which she was-- explore ALL of their interests and anything that took their fancy they could delve into. Why? BECAUSE actually they weren't earning a living in any way, shape or form. The same thing occurred in America. WHEN you look at some of the very famous women, they came from great wealth or at least enough wealth that they didn't have to worry about the mundane things that women in nowadays have to worry about. So actually I think you and I and others like us need to pat ourselves on the back and say-- we did quite well in attending to the necessities of life, while still making time to read or listen to biographies about such women as Miss Bell, who are inspirational. BUT, I frankly ABSOLUTELY do NOT believe they are in any way more distinctive or superior-- shall we say-- to the modern-day working woman, who juggles🤹 career and👯👬💑 🐶🚴🤼🐱🐁family and housekeeping &: often 🧔 parents & 🧑‍🦳grandparents who need tending to as time goes.

My daughter and I also travelled using local transport and local hotels eating locally and going places that tourists pay a fortune to go or they simply don't go. The experience was similar but not to the extent that Gertrude did. I wish I could still do but I got sick and Arab spring happened, although I did travel when first sick, an arm didn't work and eyes were a bit dodgy, but I get all those magical experience back watching this film. ❤️❤️❤️

One amazing lady of courage and fortitude, a trail blazer. I was sad about the demise of her life. At only 58. Maybe if she had got married , to the love of her life, and had a family she would of lived a different life. Possibly a more fulfilled life? Who knows that wasn’t to be. Unique woman, for most men, probably intimidating with her intellect and knowledge of the Middle East.

Thank you for this wonderful Presentation of the life of Gertrude Bell, Desert Queen. Your writing and narration is exquisite i was spellbound and on the edge of my seat. I could have continued to. watch and listen long beyond the 3 hrs and 17 minutes ! In my opinion, it was not long enough. Not only have you managed to tell the story of this wonderful, brilliant and accomplished woman,but you presented a cohesive and easy to understand History of the Middle East, especially relevant to events in my lifetime and current events in the ME today. i did watch the movie starring Nicole Kidman, and found it very romantic. the movie, however, it did not fully explain why she was known as the Desert Queen. i am fillled with admiration for the way she knew what she wanted and used all of her resources , including her femininity to acheive her goals.and she used her talents and abilities to help others wherever life took her. ..Her adventures in the desert reminded me of the book and the movie ,”The Garden of Allah”, with the themes of tragic romance, and the spiritual mysticism of the desert wilderness.

Sadly, the 2015 feature film by a famous male director starring Nicole Kidman was excoriated by viewers because it focused on Bell’s two love affairs while neglecting the rest of her long, fascinating life: her early life, her lifelong concern for the conditions in which women live their lives, her exploits and adventures, and her contributions to the Arab Revolt. Perhaps some day a female director will be inspired to create a lavish, exciting homage to a woman ahead of her time.

The most underrated female political figure of our times, Yes.. And yes she manipulated many and very cleverly. Today that's called diplomacy. It is necessary to get the parties to understand that a common understanding is much more important than the individual wishes of the loacvl chieftains. Yes she was against voting rights for women. The world she saw voting on men in politics would not do women any good. And this is partially also the case today. She was romantic yes, but most of the men she met were hopelessly incapable of living up to her expectations. That's the sad truth about intelligent women. There are no men (or only very few men) that fulfill such a position. The divorce rates in western countries show this. Most women have to accept men that only partially make do. Apart from that. It was a very good presentation well documented, well presented and very interesting Thank you.

Its definitely hard to cater to all tastes, and I appreciate that three and a quarters hours is tough going for some.

She performed all this work without pay. When her family wealth eventually went threadbare, so did she.

Gertrude Bell never was a spy. This very curious lady was producing all her work in order to be helpful to all tribes at Middle East. All tribes loved her for that. TE Lawrence was also doing same things and he became same legend. It was Western Europe governments to misuse their work for their greedy territorial negotiations for their mandates around Middle East, and using false word spy. West Europe countries started needing their own territories only around 1918 year, when they realized the petrol became precious for their goals.
