Issue 11 Out Now

Women as creative thinkers is an apt tagline for this issue. Throughout history, women have been marginalised as powerful movers and shakers. Now, after the advent of women’s history and gender studies, we are able more than ever to discover and appreciate the incredible work of women across the world.

What binds these articles together is the strength and influence of particular women within their fields; it is a privilege to read of the energy these women exerted in their intellectual and physical endeavours. We can learn from them, and take their courage and hard work with us as the legacies of inspirational characters as we move forwards in a world of greater equality and empowered women today.
