History
Florence Melian Stawell, youngest daughter of Sir William Foster Stawell, was born in Melbourne in 1869. She first went to the University of Melbourne before attending Newnham College, Cambridge, where she subsequently became a don. Ill-health forced her retirement but she continued to publish books and pursue classical scholarship.
