Throughout 2018, the National Trust will be celebrating the centenary of the Representation of People Act which brought the vote to some women for the first time. To mark this historic moment, we will be celebrating the lives and legacies of the women who made our places special with a series of special events. At Mount Stewart our focus will be on the women of the Londonderry family whilst exploring perceptions of power
Now open, this exciting exhibition will run in Mount Stewart until 3 February 2019, Thursday-Sunday, 11am-2.30pm.
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.
Join us in a series of events that celebrate the lives of the remarkable women that are woven into the fabric of our places…
