Download or read book Nine Norfolk Women written by Pamela Inder and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Nine Norfolk Women - succeeding in a 19th-century man's world' is a selection of single chapter biographies of women from the county of Norfolk who succeeded, often against considerable odds, in a time when neither business enterprise nor acumen was expected of their gender. It is also a fine example of how diligent research in census records and directories can then contribute fascinating pictures of our families in times gone by. The family researcher will find in this book excellent motivation and guidance to dig deeper into his or her own ancestry. Those women featured in the book are in the main deliberately previously unknown - but include a family of money lending ladies, female light-house keepers, enterprising businesswomen, artists and dressmakers, a writer and a farmer - and two Norfolk women whose lives took them far from their home county. Whether the reader is wishing to draw inspiration from these determined women of the 19th century or is wondering where to go next in researching family history, this book outlines a splendid route forward.

Download or read book A Historical Dictionary of British Women written by Cathy Hartley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference book, containing the biographies of more than 1,100 notable British women from Boudicca to Barbara Castle, is an absorbing record of female achievement spanning some 2,000 years of British life. Most of the lives included are those of women whose work took them in some way before the public and who therefore played a direct and important role in broadening the horizons of women. Also included are women who influenced events in a more indirect way: the wives of kings and politicians, mistresses, ladies in waiting and society hostesses. Originally published as The Europa Biographical Dictionary of British Women, this newly re-worked edition includes key figures who have died in the last 20 years, such as The Queen Mother, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, Elizabeth Jennings and Christina Foyle.

Download or read book Struggle and Suffrage in Norwich written by Gill Blanchard and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how there was more to women’s history than just the suffrage campaign and women’s war work by looking at the broader context of women’s achievements. The book is divided into themes looking at education, work, marriage, relationships, health and maternity, poverty and housing, and the involvement of women in political parties and campaigns for social and legal reforms, including the right to vote. It explores these themes through the lives of both the well-known and women who rarely, if ever, make the history books. The stories of Norwich women such as Mabel Clarkson, the first female sheriff in England, and one of the first women councillors and Lady Lord Mayor; and Dorothy Jewson, the first female MP in Norwich and East Anglia, provide the backdrop to the history of campaigns against poverty and women’s right to vote. Drawing on published and unpublished material held in the record office and heritage centre, the National Archives, museums and private collections, this book explores the lives of individual women to chart transformational changes in society at large, and Norwich in particular. These social, political and legal changes can be traced through the lives of divorcee Elizabeth Gurney; suffragette Miriam Pratt; nurse Philippa Flowerday, blacksmith Elizabeth Sabberton; economist and writer Harriet Martineau and abolitionist and writer Amelia Opie, and numerous schoolteachers, clerks, tradeswomen, weavers, WWI munitionettes and more.
