About this listen

"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl..."

Wherever Eliza Gilbert went, scandal followed. Best known under her stage name of "Lola Montez", she danced for miners in Australia, bull-whipped a journalist in the street, and once poured soup over a dinner guest of Franz Liszt. This week, Amy is joined by Irish historian Sharon Slater, to explore the life of a woman who brought the Bavarian government to it's knees.
