[edit] Religion?
- On the BBC Radio 4 Women's Hour webpages there is this comment
- Mary Anning was the wrong sex, the wrong class, and the wrong religion, but she became what one scientist called "the most eminent female fossilist” the world ever knew.
- I can see the logic of wrong sex and class but what was the problem with her religion? --jmb 09:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- She was a dissenting protestant (so sort of an evangelical?), and did not worship at the Church of England church in her village for most of her early life (she did convert to the parish church towards the end of her life) - Thomas Goodhue wrote quite a bit on this subject (maybe too much) and some of his works can be found through web searches --Tomdjrichardson 14:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- If my understanding is correct, pretty much anything not in line with the Church of England would have qualified one as the a religious dissenter (in her time and society).68.97.21.75 (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blue Lias or the Fish Lizard Whore
Anning was the subject of a play called Blue Lias or the Fish Lizard Whore written and performed by Claudia Stevens [1]. I am not sure if this is considered significant enough for the article, but it can be mentioned in talk page. 68.97.21.75 (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
