Join us for an afternoon of history as we revisit some incredible women from Hackney's past.

Women from Hackney’s History by Susan Doe was published almost exactly four years ago. Since then, her research in local women has continued and now she releases volume two which features 115 women whose stories illuminate the history of Hackney.  

For International Women's Day, Susan leads a talk focused on the women featured in the book who have strong connections to Shoreditch Town Hall, including Georgiana Eagle, a professional magician in the mid 1800s, Shoreditch's first woman mayor Henrietta Girling OBE, and others. There will be an opportunity to pre order the book and ask Susan questions.
