Women Who Broke the Rules: Bloomsbury Walking Tour

Bloomsbury, a hotbed of radical ideas, has always attracted women who refused to conform. This Women’s History Month, we will walk in the footsteps of suffragists who demanded the vote, women doctors who fought to practise medicine, artists who defied expectations, reformers and pioneers who transformed women’s education. As home to the 200 year old University of London, the first secular university in Britain to admit women in 1878, Bloomsbury nurtured thinkers who challenged conventions and changed the world. From political rebels to medical mavericks, this walking tour celebrates bold women who refused to think - or live - inside the box.

Meeting point: Outside Euston Square underground station, under the canopy.

This walk will last approx. 2 hours
