Remarkable Women of Devon
Dr Todd Gray is a historian at Exeter University and has written a series of books on the history of Devon.
He began his talk with a discussion on the role of women, how women's lives have changed in the last 40 years and how feminism for today's young women differs from that of our generation.
As a historian he found that the role of women in history is missed as there are few written records of their lives. He then went on to introduce us to a diverse group of remarkable Devonian women.Some of the women were from the aristocracy but there were many from lesser backgrounds.
