Isabella Bird
Explorer and writer Isabella Bird was born in Yorkshire in 1831. She became one of a small group of intrepid women who defied the conventions of Victorian society in travelling around the world and writing about it.
The daughter of a reverend, Isabella was raised with strong evangelical views that informed her view of the world and her philanthropic work. As she followed her father through his benefices around England, Isabella became used to a nomadic lifestyle at an early age. Moreover, having being born with a spinal defect and general poor health, for which she was encouraged to spend as much time as possible outdoors, this puny, sickly chil d learned in her early years horse riding, rowing, and the habit to interrogate, observe and write about her surroundings.
Everything suggests a beyond.
After undergoing a surgery for her spine and having been advised to take a sea voyage for her health, Isabella took her first journey at the age of twenty-three, first to Prince Edward Island to visit a cousin and from there to mainland Canada and the United States. She wrote an account of this in her book The English Woman in America, which was published in 1856 and was going to be the first of many books detailing her travels and adventures.
In 1858, following her father’s death, Isabella relocated to Edinburgh with her mother and sister Henrietta. She became especially fond of the Highlands and the Isle of Mull, where she spent time in her sister’s cottage in Tobermory. Whenever she was back from her travels, Isabella lived with her sister, to whom she used to write long letters, many of which were published. By this point, the 1860s, Isabella’s travels had extended from the United States to the Mediterranean, the Pacific and Asia.
Only poor health thwarted Isabella’s restlessness and continuous desire for adventure. Despite the spinal surgery, she kept suffering from a bad back and was often bedridden, but she kept going, and in 1872 she embarked on a trip to Australia, New Zealand and the Sandwich Islands. From there, she went to Hawaii and North America and spent the last months of 1873 in the Rocky Mountains, where she got to finesse her horse riding and had a short-lived romance with a cowboy. On this occasion, she travelled for about eighteen months and published two volumes, one on the Hawaiian Archipelago’s wildlife, which was of interest to scientists as well as the general public, and the second titled A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains.
"I dreamt of bears so vividly that I woke with a furry death hug at my throat, but feeling quite refreshed."
Back home in Edinburgh in 1876-7, she developed an interest in science and medicine that led her to me et Dr. John Bishop, who she would have married a few years later. She went on to travel through Japan, the Malay Peninsula, Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, where she contracted typhoid fever, after which she returned to Scotland. There, Henrietta died in June 1880 and in 1881 Isabella married Dr. Bishop, ten years her junior.
After his death in 1886, Isabella devoted herself to the cause of medical missions, studying medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital London and joining the missionary cause. Armed with new knowledge and strengthened ideals, she traveled to Ireland and India, where she founded two hospitals: the John Bishop Memorial Centre in Cashmere and the Henrietta Bird Hospital for Women in Punjab.
By 1890, Isabella’s fame was established as both a traveller and a missionary advocate. She was made a fellow of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society in 1891 and a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, to which no woman had previously been admitted. She travelled through Canada to Japan, Korea and China, funding on her way three more hospitals as well as an orphanage in Japan. On her return to England she published books on both Korea and China, which were illustrated by photographs she herself had taken on her journeys.
In December 1900, almost seventy years old, Isabella went to Morocco for six months, but poor health for ced her to stop writing and return to Scotland. She was planning another visit to China, but her health quickly deteriorated and she died in Edinburgh in 1904. In her will, she bequeathed some funds for the Henrietta Amelia Bird memorial clock in Tobermory, which to this day is the town clock.
Slave is locked into a metal ball stretcher with spikes digging into his flesh and is taken into the bathroom with a lead attached to the stretcher to have 2 of the 3 keys flushed down the toil et.

Mukhtar Mai
Mukhtaran Bibi, known as Mukhtar Mai, was around 28 years old and living in Punjab, Pakistan with her family when her twe lve-year old brother, Shakur, was accused of zina bil jabar (having an illicit affair) with an older woman from the higher caste Mastoi tribe. Not only was this untrue, but the story was an attempt to conceal the fact that Shakur himself had been beaten, kidnapp ed and ra ped by several Mastoi men. These men worried that Shakur might reveal the crimes committed against him, and name them as the perpetrators.
To apologise on behalf of her tribe and seek mercy for Shakur, Mukhtar travelled with her father and uncle on 22 June 2002 to m eet with the jirga, a local tribal council that had gathered together in a mosque. When she arrived however, instead of negotiating Shakur’s safety, Mukhtar was dragged screaming from the building, past several hundred people gathered outside, to a hut where she was ra ped by four different men for over an hour. Thrown outside half-naked after her ordeal, her father and uncle (restrained by the crowd during her assault), placed a shawl around her and took her home.
“They know that a woman humiliated in that way has no other recourse except suicide. They don’t even need to use their weapons. Ra pe kills her.”
Ra pe is a highly stigmatised crime in Pakistan, frequently going undisclosed even to close family members and friends. Suicide has traditionally been seen as the only way for a woman and her family to regain their ‘lost’ honour. Following her ra pe, Mukhtar begged her mother to help her commit su icide by purchasing acid for her to ingest, but her mother refused and held fast to that refusal by not leaving her side, night and day. While Mukhtar lay without sleeping or eating in her room, word of what happened to her spread across the region and the police began to feel pressure to act. Mukhtar came to realise that there could be a way for her to move forward: justice.
“…my decision to file a complaint… [is] a springboard for my survival, a weapon for my revolt…”
Mukhtar brought a complaint before the police and in July 2002, a month after her attack, 14 men were arrested, including the four men she accused of ra pe. The media attention that the case garnered led the authorities to try the men in the Dera Ghazi Khan Anti-Terrorism Court, which was empowered to hear gang-ra pe cases and where verdicts were usually delivered more quickly. Mukhtar testified before the court against the accused men, an almost unheard of thing for a woman to do in Pakistan. Six of the four te en men were found guilty, four of ra pe and two of ordering the ra pe, and all six were sentenced to death.
The men appealed their convictions and in March 2005, the Lahore High Court acquitted five of the six men found guilty, and commuted the final man’s sentence to life imprisonment. Refusing to accept this judgment, Mukhtar appealed to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
In June 2005, the Supreme Court ordered all 14 men accused by Mukhtar be re-arrested for a new hearing and overturned all the acquittals. However, in April 2011, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court’s judgment, acquitting 13 of the men and finding one man guilty. The other men were released, free to return to their homes, within a stone’s throw of Mukhtar Mai.
“When I walk past, they taunt me and make catcalls,” she said of having to live near those she accused.
In June 2016, the Supreme Court took the extraordinary and unexpected decision to judicially review their own 2011 verdict in Mukhtar’s case. This judicial review judgment was still pending as of November 2017.
“If any girl was in my situation, I would tell her that getting justice is very difficult. But we, as women, should still keep raising our voices.”
When Mukhtar was gang-rap ed, she could have easily become another tragic statistic in a highly patriarchal society, where four women report being ra ped or gang-rap ed per day. In the opera, Thumbprint, based upon her life, a chorus of women sing about their daily fear of sexual violen ce in Pakistan: “Every girl fears this fate/ It is like a vulture flying right above our heads. When we walk or work or play…”
Yet far from being an isolated tragedy in a far-away country, Mukhtar Mai has become a powerful symbol for female survivors of sexual viole nce everywhere. With the 500,000 rupees (around £3,300) compensation money she received from the government, she now runs several schools, a women’s hotline, a public library, a free legal clinic, an ambulance service and a woman’s shelter in Meerwala. In a strange twist of fate, daughters of the men she accused of ra pe now attend one of her schools.
“Mothers, sisters, daughters, if we all unite and speak out, eventually we will get justice — if not for ourselves, for future generations.”
In Thumbprint, the Mukhtar of the opera is taunted by her rapists to “follow tradition”, insinuating that she commit suicide to save her family the dishonour of her life. Instead, she responds spiritedly “I am making a new tradition.”
A tradition of honouring justice, not impunity.
