Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy
The Feisty Feminist?
Postings
The first post introduces Elizabeth, the Manchester girl whose mother died days after her birth and goes on to change women’s lives for ever. In each of my posts I will explore her achievements in challenging male power.

These posts will offer you a taster as I work on my book that will offer you a full picture of the work of this amazing woman.
