Fearless & Fabulous Women of Brighton & Hove

Brighton and Hove is a treasure trove of women’s history - some of the first women doctors to practise in the country moved here to set up landmark hospitals, the first British woman to swim the Channel was born here, Britain’s first female cabinet minister worked in a shop in Hove, the first Suffragette to die for the cause worked here, the first and possibly only woman to have a blue plaque outside her home for services to witchcraft lived in Brighton.  In her talk, Louise will profile some of the fearless and fabulous women associated with Brighton and Hove.
