The Peaceful Crystallographer – and other Songs
Join Electric Voice Theatre at Conway Hall for a special 20th Bloomsbury Festival singing
celebration of Crystallographer Dame Kathleen Lonsdale (1903–1971) – the first female professor at
UCL and the first female Fellow of the Royal Society. Defying all odds, her pioneering science led
to breakthroughs in organic chemistry and medical treatments. Beyond science, Lonsdale was a
prison reformer, women’s rights activist and pacifist, warning of the dangers of nuclear physics and
wealth inequality in her book Is Peace Possible?
