The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) is well known. But what is the story of the women behind them and on their canvasses?

There were many: Elizabeth Siddal, Fanny Cornforth, Annie Miller, Fanny Waugh, Jane Morris, May Morris, Georgiana Burne-Jones, Maria Zambaco, Christina Rossetti, and Effie Gray to name just some. Many were talented artists in their own right.

Brenda Tate-Lovery, former Open University lecturer and Friend, will reveal to Friends some of the stories behind the names.
