Hypatia Trust in Cornwall, England, directed by Melissa Hardie, a friend of Elspeth’s, was one of the main inspirations for Hypatia-in-the-Woods. “The Hypatia Trust was created to collect, and make available, published and personal documentation about the achievements of women in every aspect of their lives.
