Description
Behind every strong city, there is an even stronger army of women creating the bricks with which to build it. In Volume Two of Women Who Built Bristol, Jane Duffus brings together 250 inspiring females who fought tooth and nail to shape our city and the wider world. From Olympians to boot makers, suffragists to grocers, scientists to artists, this diverse group of women played a crucial role in shaping their communities. With stories of perseverance, innovation, and determination, this book celebrates the often-overlooked contributions of women who helped build the world we live in today. With a fascinating mix of characters, including one washed up whale, two plucky daredevils, 38 women called Mary, and over 1,950 donated eggs, Volume Two is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history, biography, or social justice.
