SUMMARY:At Home in Broadmoor
DESCRIPTION:Life in the Female Wing of Victorian and Edwardian Broadmoor\nWhat was everyday life like for the women who lived, and worked, in Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum?\nThis talk will explore life in the ‘Women’s Division’ or ‘Female Wing’ of Broadmoor during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. It looks beyond the reasons why women were admitted to discover what living in the Asylum was like. What did the women do with their days? How did they spend their time, and what did they read, talk about and argue about? Alongside the patients’ experiences, the talk will also consider the lives of the female attendants, their work, and their relationships within the institution.\nThe talk tells the story of the female side of Broadmoor: not simply an asylum, but a place where women lived and worked, formed friendships and were cared for and managed—and, for many, spent much of their lives.\nThis is the first of three talks in the Winter Potpourri Talks Series. The other talks take place on 25th February and 25th March. You may book tickets for individual events or for all three talks in the series for a reduced price.  \nTo book\nPre-booking is required, because the event link will be sent in advance.                             \nFirst-time users of Zoom, will be asked to download a small piece of software, before joining the talk.     \nImage: copyright Royal Berkshire Archives and reproduced with their kind permission\nTo book, scroll down.\n
