On Tuesday 29th October we were invited as guest speakers to talk at the Novium Museum, to the recently formed Chichester Women’s History Group. We had a wonderful afternoon. Our hosts and audience were very welcoming and our exchange of ideas was greatly beneficial to both groups. So much so, we are hoping to collaborate on some future projects. The subjects we covered were; Research; Plaques; Names on Buses; Funding; Marketing and Social Media.
It was so interesting to compare our very different cities and to reflect on how that determines the way we approach the subject of bringing Women’s unwritten histories into the public domain. It was a real learning curve. Our common aim is to keep discovering new women from the past and unravelling their stories, so that they won’t be forgotten. We also want to engage young people’s interest, and to give young women and girls inspiring, visible, role models.
