World War I was a time of great transformation in Britain. One of the most remarkable changes was the recognition for women to have the right to vote. A defining moment in history, it marked an important step in the fight for equality.
Join historian of science Patricia Fara as we celebrate the centenary anniversary of the suffrage movement. Explore the difficulties faced by extraordinary women scientists to carve an identity for themselves in a country devastated by war.
