Dame Gracie Field - an honorary Brimmin?

Whilst researching Dame Hilda Lloyd for our list of great Brummie women, I came across this article in the Times Higher.  What a peculiar story.  Highly appropriate for here as it links two of the women on our list (Hilda Lloyd and Jane Bunford) and creates an intriguing connection with the fabulous Gracie. We may not be able to claim her as a great Birmingham Woman, but if the story is true, she certainly left her mark on the city in a more direct way than we might have predicted!
