Description: What do the children in your classroom think about when they picture women of the past? Bonnets? Balls? Big dresses? Historically, women and girls have been underrepresented and almost invisible in the curriculum. Join bestselling author, Philippa Gregory, for a free webinar as she tells a new story of women’s history from the past nine centuries. Discover untold stories about the Normal Women who played sports – even when they were excluded, to the women who worked as healers – even when it was dangerous, and to the women who made money – even when they were pushed back. You’ll be able to take these inspirational stories of ingenuity, diversity, rebellion, survival and sisterhood back to your classroom and show pupils that women and girls have done everything in the past – and can do anything in the future!
