Women’s voices can sometimes be hard to find in the historical record, but look a little deeper and you may discover women who refused to be silent. From the so-called “scolds” hauled before ecclesiastical courts to those who challenged authority, campaigned for equal rights or marched for the vote, these were women who made their voices heard.

Do you have a spirited woman in your family history? Perhaps she appeared in church court records, stood alongside the suffragists, or simply refused to conform to the expectations of her time.

Join SoG Genealogist Else Churchill for a facilitated lunchtime chat to share the stories of these remarkable women. Tell us how you discovered them, what the records reveal, and what their lives can teach us. Bring along photographs, documents or other images to share on screen with fellow attendees. 

So grab a sandwich or a cuppa and sit down with us. Our lunchtime chats are friendly and relaxed.
