Gertrude Bell, one of the great adventurers of the 20th century and the woman who decisively influenced British policy in the Middle East in the years after World War I, turned her back on Victorian society to study at Oxford and see the world. Passionate about travel, mountaineering, archaeology, and foreign languages (she learned Turkish, Italian, French, German, Arabic, and Persian), she was a writer, poet, linguist, and spy who dedicated her life to the Arab cause and played a crucial role in defining the current borders of the Middle East.
