Occasionally, well more than occasionally someone exceptional just doesn't make it into our everyday history books. We're fan's of people getting their fair due and we're fan's of revealing those unsung individuals (oftentimes minorities!) who should be making it into our everyday history books.

Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) was an interesting if not mostly forgotten woman who gained social and political status through a series of relationships with politicians and artists of her day. She is unfortunately mostly known as a muse for the painter George Romney and Mistress of Lord Nelson. She was also an actor/artist of her own right and staged many contemporary interpretive pieces often based around Greek and Roman history which helped set off new dance trends in Europe.
