The Insect Woman

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Evelyn Cheesman was expected to die young when she was born in 1881, but her tremendous will-power carried her through to a ripe old age. Barry Paine traces the remarkable adventures of this frail-looking woman who collected insects in remote parts of the South Pacific, sometimes with cannibals as her only companions.
