Noble savages : the Olivier sisters : four lives in seven fragments
Watling, Sarah2019
Books
The four Olivier sisters were emancipated, determined and wild in an age when society punished women for being so. Margery and Daphne studied at Cambridge at a time when education was still thought to be damaging to ovaries. There they met Rupert Brooke and formed the Neo Pagans, initiating a web of entanglements that would challenge even the sisters' unbreakable bond. Daphne later became a pioneering educationalist, and set up Britain's first Steiner school, and Noel joined a tiny minority of female doctors before the First World War.
