Two walks were missed from our August newsletter. These are new walks that discover an important aspect of local history.
Walks through Women’s History!
The Mary Wollstonecraft Tour
Follow in the footsteps of Britain’s best-known feminist!
- Discover who she was
- What she wrote
- And why she still matters!

A round trip of an hour, starting and finishing with a cuppa at the Meeting House in Newington Green!

The Trailblazer Tour: Putting the Poetry into the Place!
- Who made it her mission to empower women and is linked to the first hospice in Europe for patients with HIV/ AIDS?
- Who stood up for Jewish women’s rights and was described as having ‘a touch of genius’?
- Who criticised Britain’s colonial project and defended the rights of animals in the 18th and 19th centuries?
Traces of their lives still exist along the Islington and Hackney borders! And women’s poetry tells us how and why they mattered!
