Thanks for creating this article, I'm a current classical archaeology & ancient history student at Somerville (a former women's college) and try to add more notable women to Wikipedia by writing about our alumnae. I was planning to write this article too and I actually have a booklet written on by Maria's husband John Evans. I have access to this article and Lathbury is mentioned three times:

page 494: Women students from Oxford also travelled to Greece. Maria Millington Lathbury, stepmother to Sir Arthur Evans, read Classics ('Greats') at Somerville College, though she did not apply until she was thirty.^{Joan Evans, Prelude and Fugue: An Autobiography (London, 1964), 21. See also MacGillivray, Minotaur, 101} She had been influenced in her interest in classical archaeology by Jane Harrison's 'Extension Lectures in the suburbs', and subsequently in Oxford by Percy Gardner, the Lincoln and Merton Professor of Classical Archaeology.^{Joan Evans, Prelude and Fugue (n. 26), 21-1} With Harrison's help, she developed her own course of lectures on classical archaeology. She was subsequently invited to travel to Greece 'as companion to a younger woman', and in the early summer of 1892 they joined one of D6rpfeld's organized tours of the islands, in addition to travelling round the Peloponnese.^{Ibid., 22-3.}
page 497: London had become a centre for the study of archaeology in Britain. Not only were there public lectures from women like Harrison, Sellers, and Lathbury, but archaeology was becoming more prominent as a subject in the university.^{66 Egyptology was also becoming more important with a large number of women active in London: Rosalind M. Janssen, The First Hundred Years: Egyptology at University College London 1892-1992 (London, 1992). See also David W.J. Gill, 'Mary Brodrick', in New DNB}
page 500: An interest in Greek dress was encouraged by the finds of Archaic korai during excavations on the Athenian akropolis in 1885-6, in particular fourteen in one deposit to the north-west of the Erechtheion inside the wall of the akropolis.^{Gisela M. A. Richter, Korai: Archaic Greek Maidens. A Study of the Development of the Kore Type in Greek Sculpture (London, 1968), 5-6, pl. ii.} The combination of the continuing interest in Greek theatre and the appearance of new finds available for study and comment probably lay behind Abrahams's research into Greek dress during the 1905-6 session (PLATE 53 a).^{0o6 E. B. Abrahams, Greek Dress: A Study of the Costumes Worn in Ancient Greece (London, 19o8). See also the review by Caroline Amy Hutton, Classical Review, 23 (I9IO), 235-6. For the display of these statues in the I880s see Haris Yiakoumis, The Acropolis of Athens: Photographs 1839-1959 (Athens, 2000), 225.} Similar research had been conducted by Maria Millington Lathbury, Sir Arthur Evans' stepmother, during her study in Greece in 1892 which was to culminate in a monograph.^{Margaret Millington-Evans, Chapters on Greek Dress (London, 1894). See also MacGillivray, Minotaur, 101.}
