Sunday 7th March - 2pm
International Women's Day

A global event celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of Women. 

On Britain's railways in 1914, women were employed to clean and make the tea. But when one-third of railwaymen joined the forces, bringing the railways to the brink of crisis, bosses were forced to put women into men's jobs.

OH, MRS PORTER! Wartime women in men’s railway jobs.  Illustrated talk by Helen Wojtczak.
