HERSTORY.YORK 100 Women Changemakers: A celebration of women, their lives and impact on York   

Co-curated Exhibition with HERStory.YORK 

8 March 2022 – 21 August 2022  

Throughout history, women who were brave and spirited have inspired and effected change in York, but up until now, their stories have not been told or have only been partially told.  

These women have made a difference to every aspect of life in York by their work in the community, the arts, business, education, health, law and criminal justice, politics, religion, science, sport, media and charitable organisations.  

HERSTORY.YORK is a community history project that aims to make their stories known and celebrated. The exhibition presented our research revealed a hidden wealth of talent of inspiring York women in the last 100 years, and through their stories show how they have brought about change in this city.
