SUMMARY:Inspirational Women; a walk in Birmingham City Centre
DESCRIPTION:Like most places\, Birmingham’s history has traditionally focussed on the achievements of notable men. Join us on a guided tour of the city centre to discover the stories and achievements of the many women who contributed to the history of the city. Suffragettes\, abolitionists\, factory workers\, academics\, trade unionists\, philanthropists\, artists\, politicians\, and educators; many women put their mark on Birmingham’s history. \nThe walk will start at Floozie in the Jacuzzi (top level\, opposite Council House). Comfortable shoes advised and dress for the weather. Some uneven pavements likely. \nThe walk takes inspiration from the recently produced ‘Birmingham Women’s Heritage Trails’\, a joint project between Birmingham Civic Society and Birmingham & Solihull Women’s Aid. \nThe tour will be led by Anna Fawcett and Irene de Boo. Anna Fawcett is a Marketing and Communications professional and feminist who has a keen interest in the experiences of women in Birmingham both past and present. After 9 years working at Winterbourne House and Garden\, she has worked at Birmingham and Solihull Women’s Aid since 2019. Irene de Boo has worked in the heritage sector since 1994. For many years she managed local historic properties for Birmingham Museums Trust. Irene now works freelance in the museum sector and is a member of the Birmingham Civic Society Heritage Committee responsible for blue plaques in the city. \nThis Birmingham Civic Society’s Heritage Trails Project is generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the W A Cadbury Charitable Trust. \n£5 / BCS members free. \nBook here
