Women's Work in the Community
In preparation for the A Woman's Work is Never Done exhibition, the team at Quarry Bank spoke with the Manchester Women’s Institute to gain insight into what work means to the modern woman. Find out more from WI member Rachel Jones.
Researching women in the past is not always easy. Few women had their lives recorded in detail and the lack of opportunities afforded to them meant that fewer women than men were in roles which gave them lasting fame. Find out how we research the women of Quarry Bank.
From the girls in the Apprentice House to the ladies of the Greg family, women form the backbone of the Quarry Bank story. This exhibition, running from Saturday 21 January to Monday 17 April 2017, shines a light on the experiences of the women and girls whose stories have often been invisible.
