In the final decades of the 19th century women were calling for change. They wanted to break free from dominating male attitudes which suppressed their opinions and saw them only as mothers and confined to their domestic responsibilities. This talk focuses on some of the talented and determined individuals who wanted to be heard and given greater respect and for their ideas and opinions. They were prepared to risk arrest and ridicule to promote their beliefs – and they would not be silenced.
Views: 755 | Enquiries: 2I am a registered City of London guide-lecturer, historian and Freeman of the City. My early career was working on local newspapers as a Sports Journalist before progressing to become a freelance sportswriter, specialising in football reporting for the Sunday Mirror.
Then I went into the film and TV industry joining Pathe Pictorial as an scriptwriter. Following on from there I became a documentary film producer working on films for the BBC, the Armed Forces, private industry and Government departments. This involved travelling extensively from Australia to the Arctic , to several European countries, the Middle and Far East and the Falkland Islands. I finally retired after 35 years with a lot of experiences - good, bad, frustrating and funny.
I have a BA (Hons) in History (Birkbeck, London) and went on to get Masters' degrees at De Montfort University (Sport History and Culture) and a second Masters (Heritage Studies) at the University of East London.
I have been a speaker on Cruise Ships, edited magazines and lecture regularly to History Groups, Genealogy Societies, U3As, Probus Clubs as well as leading guided tours around London.
