Federation Event
Dying to be Beautiful - 1st May 2025
Dr Kathryn Harkup, author of ‘A is for Arsenic’ gave a very informative talk to packed room at the Earley Crescent Centre,
“Throughout history humans have sought to embellish and augment their physical appearance. As fashions change new contraptions, cosmetics and costumes are devised. There has often been little regard given to comfort and well-being when it comes to the body beautiful, and as this talk illustrates, some fashions can be fatal.”
