'A pretty awesome present for the feminist in your life' - Caroline
Criado Perez, OBE, author of Do It Like a Woman At the last count,
the Blue Plaque Guide honours 903 Londoners, and a walking tour of
these sites brings to life the London of a bygone era. But only 111
of these blue plaques commemorate women. Over the centuries, London
has been home to thousands of truly remarkable women who have made
significant and lasting impacts on every aspect of modern life:
from politics and social reform, to the Arts, medicine, science,
technology and sport. Many of those women went largely unnoticed,
even during their own lifetimes, going about their lives quietly
but with courage, conviction, skill and compassion. Others were
fearless, strident trail-blazers. Many lived in an era when their
achievements were given a male name, clouding the capabilities of
women in any field outside of the home or field. A Woman Lived Here
shines a spotlight on some of these forgotten women to redress the
balance. The stories on these pages commemorate some of the most
remarkable of London's women, who set out to make their world a
little richer, and in doing so, left an indelible mark on ours.
