How a new map is uncovering Women's History in London
The Women’s History London Map highlights 50 statues, sculptures, blue plaques, gravestones, buildings and monuments – dedicated to women such as Millicent Garrett Fawcett, ​​Virginia Woolf, Aphra Benn, Ada Lovelace and Phillis Wheatley.
With an introduction and descriptions by Katie Wignall, author, city history tour guide and Londoner, and original photography by Jo Underhill, the map guide is a companion to begin exploring the lives of some of London’s most impactful women, and to inspire the next generation to continue their work.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio London's Robert Elms has been chatting to Katie about how the map came about, as well as whisking through just some of the amazing stories.
