Women and Power: Exploring women’s history at our places

In 2018 we marked 100 years since the Representation of the People Act granted some women the right to vote with a year-long programme called Women and Power.

What is Women and Power?
In 2018 we examined how the places we care for have been home to women of every background; women of incredible strength and determination, whose voices were often silenced. The programme uncovered previously untold stories of the women who shaped our places and explored the lives of those who fought for and against female suffrage.
