Gertrude Bell, Uncrowned Queen of Iraq > 
Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell was a British writer, traveler, political analyst, and administrator in Arabia. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire. Bell and T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) are recognized as almost wholly responsible for creating the Hashimite dynasty and the modern state of Iraq. During her life, she was an unrecognised force behind the Arab revolt in World War I. At the conclusion of the war, she drew up borders within Mesopotamia to include the three vilayets which later became Iraq.
