Inspiring women of South Gloucestershire
We have a range of learning resources on the inspiring women of South Gloucestershire that we developed with National Lottery Heritage funding in 2018.
Our project identified and explored women’s stories over 100 years after the Representation of the People Act allowed some women to vote for the first time.
Discover the achievements of local women and their roles in the development of science, technology engineering, maths, industry, culture, sport, local politics, public service and social justice.
