Everybody knows about Virginia and Vanessa, but did you realise that Sussex is (and always has been) the birthplace, home or workplace for many more inspiring, intriguing and formidable women - from royal mistresses to pioneering women doctors, and from educators and philanthropists to Brighton 'dippers' and cross-dressing music-hall stars? There's an impressively large pool of Sussex sisters who have been doing it for themselves over the centuries; Ann Kramer has selected 30 of the best and brings them to vibrant life in a browsable collection of concise, informative and entertaining essays designed to make you want to find out more. This work offers 30 brief but entertainingly informative biographies of inspiring Sussex women. It offers tips and pointers on where you can find out more about the women and their work. It is written by a Sussex woman and published author of feminist history.
