Isabella Tree

• educated white older woman, inherited her farm land with her husband.
• she mainly fits the axis of privilege (bell hooks) , which could be why she is in the Gentlewoman, possibly due to her old age- there are no photos of her - she lacks beauty ideals, does not fit the male gaze (mulvey)
• embarked on the “first lowland rewilding project” in England. 
• In contrast to the Ali interview, this article is written from the journalist’s perspective who describes her experience walking with Isabella Tree around the estate
• The article asks the reader to critically assess their “manicured gardens” and connect with the natural world in a more meaningful way.
• ainbow in the second image encodes a sense of optimism towards the trees whose “roots” have been “damaged by intensive ploughing and chemical use”. Despite our misuse of the land in the past, we can follow Isabella Tree and work towards a brighter future.
• The Gentlewoman is inspiring a new wave of environmentalism.
