Press release extract (24/01/18)
“For far too long female voices have been overlooked. Women’s stories may be very different to men’s, and it’s not just about what is told but how. A history of local women, their struggles, their rights and their victories is a history of Barking and Dagenham." Judith Garfield MBE, Executive Director at Eastside
