Just keep the information - photographs, memorabilia, pamphlets, posters, short write-ups etc coming.

On The Shoulders of Giants Exhibition Feb 9th 2018 Joanna West's Reflections on Visiting the Exhibition
Excellent exhibition at the Mandela Centre about Women’s Suffrage. It was great to see it, learn more about some amazing women (a lot from Derbyshire!) and be there with friends.
Also fantastic to see two amazing women from Shakespeare Street (was it ours?) had signed the 1866 petition! Hope they got to vote!
