This new walk celebrates a wide range of Brighton women from the theatrical, medical and legal professions, businesswomen, campaigners and reformers, and a secret agent. Many were involved in the fight for women’s rights, and the walk features four plaques commemorating the centenary of the first extension of women’s suffrage in 1918.
The circular walk starts and ends at Brighton station and takes around an hour and a half. This walk has been devised and based on research by members of the Brighton & Hove Women’s History Group, whose mission is to raise awareness of the contribution women have made to the city’s history.
