Riassunto

The stories of around 70 women associated with the Moray area, this book provides a unique glimpse into history, looking beyond the male-dominated surface to a wealth of important and extraordinary female achievement.. The local context of the content makes this the ideal tool to drum up interest in the past both in schools and in the wider community, and there are already plans to launch the book in conjunction with an exhibition focusing on female painters and a conference with discussions on many of the women featured. This is a treasure-trove of stories about women whose contribution to history has hitherto been hidden. Click here for more information about the Women of Moray project.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

There are no dull women in this inspired study. Here are remembered head teachers and matrons, soldiers and explorers, archaeologists and artists, writers and business women from all walks of life, whose life stories will continue to be an inspiration to future generations. The book is a brilliant conception, beautifully produced and well worth the hours of devoted research it must have taken to bring so many fine women back to life. --Scots Magazine

L'autore:

The authors, who have been involved with the Moray Society and the Elgin Museum for many years, have researched and published books and articles on various aspects of history, including the history of science, of nursing, and of the people and places in and around Moray.
