Episode 12: Women In The Parks

In this episode, recorded as part of Women’s History Month, our
Interpretation Manager Lucy Kellett explores the stories of some
of the great women associated with The Royal Parks. 


To do this she is joined by Claire Harris, Brompton Cemetery’s
Partnership & Community Outreach Officer. Claire’s work
involves researching and communicating the unique stories of
Brompton’s residents, among whom are Emmaline Pankhurst – founder
of the Women's Social and Political Union, otherwise known as the
Suffragettes. Starting with Emmaline, Claire and Lucy tell the
tale of how voting rights for women were achieved as well as the
stories of other extraordinary women who pushed the boundaries in
their own fields, fighting for equality.
