Scotland Yard – Metropolitan and Detective Police.
The Illustrated London News. Sept. 29, 1883. From the Ripon Museum Trust collection.
Solvig Choi, a volunteer curatorial assistant at Ripon Museum Trust, explores how a female detective in Victorian Britain used forensic linguistic techniques 100 years before the discipline was created. Women police officers have long been overlooked, and a new exhibition opening on 28 April at the Prison & Police Museum will review their place in history and how their role has evolved.
