Discussion over the depiction of @trowelblazers Peggy Piggott in #TheDig is making me think what I would want to see if I were to take a real story (& vaguely fictionalise it) for a film. Well, I offer up to potential filmmakers the following...

Opening scenes in the years before WW1, as suffrage campaigns mount, a young Agnes Conway (a real @trowelblazers, like Peggy) comes out of studies at Cambridge, & into a flurry of overseas travel, writing & social life. Involved in *non-militant* suffrage activities too.

It's a privileged comfortable existence. In the spring of 1914, she sets out for Athens with a Cambridge friend, for a session as a student @BSAthens. They embark on a tour in the Balkans; it's just after the Balkan wars, borders are changing, there are refugees fleeing.

The two girls are travelling alone, mostly 3rd class, so they can see 'life'. But they also have contacts within the British expat community if they need them. They visit an American archaeologist (another @trowelblazers) &her Greek foreman(& husband) excavating at Corinth.

Under currents of political relationship of Great Powers in the Balkans at the time, and seething tensions, soon to erupt. The 2 women return in the summer. War is declared & as battles erupt, our heroine Agnes is taking on a new project resettling Belgian refugees.

Then, she gets a new job, putting university educated women like herself into professional jobs on the home front. In 1917, her father becomes the director of a new Museum, and she has a new role - collecting artefacts relating to women's work in the war.

You could keep it going if you wanted to, as Agnes later was part of a team excavating at stunning Petra, where she meets her future husband, in the late 1920s. If anyone wants to make this do get in touch!
