2018 marks 100 years of some women having the right to vote in the UK – but what happened, and what’s really changed?

We Are The Granddaughters Of The Witches You Could Not Burn highlights and celebrates women then and now, locally and globally who have been at the forefront of driving change.

Our opening event features three short talks from women who are changing the world.

  • The co-curators from Parliament Hill School
  • Julie Begum – activist, chair of the Swadhinata Trust, life-long resident of Tower Hamlets
  • Holly Bourne – author of the best-selling Spinster Club series, which helps educate teenagers about feminism.
