The Yorkshire Post says: A Woman's Place? At the heart of richly deserved historic new exhibition in Leeds
Kirkstall’s Abbey House Museum is to host A Woman’s Place? to mark the centenary of the first British women getting the vote, as well as celebrating the quiet heroism of ordinary women.
From the famous Leeds suffragette Leonora Cohen, all the way up to the city’s Olympic champion Nicola Adams, the displays showcase women who have challenged and changed perceptions of what they can achieve.
