Description

A life-changing meeting on International Women’s Day.
A philosopher buried on St George’s Day.
A suffragette released from prison on Christmas Eve.

Re-encounter some familiar faces from Unsung Women in Somerset and meet a kaleidoscope of new people: medics, human rights campaigners, witches, rebels, preachers and more.

From Roman times to the present day and from Athelney to the Zoylands, this book celebrates 366 days of women across the county of Somerset, a calendar where women from all walks of life take their rightful place: centre stage.

Readers can discover which woman is connected to their birthday or any special date, making this almanac a unique and personal way to engage with local history. It’s a book that can be read one page a day throughout the year or be devoured in a handful of sittings.
