Explore your local neighbourhood
What women’s history can you find in your local area? There are clues all around! Perhaps you might notice a street name, blue plaque, statue or monument with a woman’s name on?
If you live in East London, we have a map of local women’s stories - from well-known figures to everyday stories. Be inspired to trace someone else’s footsteps - or add your own story to the map!
Our characters Elsie, Sally and Dot.
TRY OUR Colouring in and activity sheets
Get inspired by our Working for Equality exhibition, which tells the story of women’s fight for fair pay and equal rights in East London factories - from wartime munitions workers to the Ford Dagenham strikers.
Meet our characters: Elsie from 1918, Dot from 1942, and Sally from 1968. You can colour them all in, then design a campaign of your own!
