Join Dr Jane Jordan to discover the fascinating histories of women who defied social convention, and whose careers took them into the public sphere. Highlights include the graves of a Pre-Raphaelite model-turned-artist, a working-class business woman (the ‘Watercress Queen’), Florence Nightingale’s most trusted nurse during the Crimean War, a pair of intrepid mountaineers and the most famous ceramic designers employed at Doulton’s Lambeth Art Pottery.
