Short for the \u2018The Upper Ten Thousand\u2019, it denoted the prosperous two per cent elite of New York\u2019s population. The term was soon applied in Britain to the government, aristocracy, landed gentry and leaders of such august bodies as the Church of England and the Jockey Club. In 1864, Anthony Trollope in his novel <em>Can You Forgive Her? <\/em>added a refinement of \u2018The Upper Ten Hundred\u2019 for the blue-blooded, as opposed to those with regulation red\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The search for new beginnings in women\u2019s artistic and personal freedom is elegantly examined by Joanna Biggs in her recent book <em>A Life of One\u2019s Own. <\/em>This plaits her own experience and thoughts with those of eight iconic women writers and the female characters in their novels. Freedom of expression runs hand in hand with freedom to be heard; something to be fostered by all of us, the Upper Ten included.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular updates include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Notes from the chair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Director\u2019s cut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New member profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Inter alia<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vox pop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New members<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book reviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Products and services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialist suppliers index<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Access the <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/cont_arch\/\">online archive<\/a> and see the <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/context\/181\/\">issue online<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/page55\/context\/index.html\"><em>Context<\/em><\/a> helps IHBC members develop their skills across all of the IHBC\u2019s Areas of Competence, and so is a critical baseline in addressing priorities in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/learning\/cpd\/index.html\">Continuing Professional Development<\/a> (CPD)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See more IHBC background and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/learning\/cpd\/index.html\">guidance on IHBC CPD<\/a> and on how you might use past, current and future issues of <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/cont_arch\/\"><em>Context<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/resources\/IHBC_CPD_guidance_notes_160709.pdf\">formal guidance paper on IHBC CPD<\/a> (scheduled for update)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See more on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/learning\/applicant_guidance\/index.html\">IHBC Competences and Areas of Competence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new issue of the IHBC\u2019s members\u2019 journal, Context, No. 181, alongside themed and special features includes a wide range of regular articles, with the current spotlight on IHBC\u2019s past-Chair James Caird\u2019s journey from the \u2018The Upper Ten Thousand\u2019 to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=42032\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[23,29,49,227,22,54],"class_list":["post-42032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog","tag-expertise","tag-heritage","tag-history","tag-industry","tag-skills","tag-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42032"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42034,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42032\/revisions\/42034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
