Let the Ivory Bangle Lady show you her final resting place and allow Lady Isabel German, York's Medieval Anchoress show you how she spent her days. Meet Roman Goddess Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom and Drama, and learn why it's of the utmost importance that we pay her respect.

Take a walk down what was once York's Red Light District and come face to face with Mary Jane Sutherland, a Lady of the Night. Hear her story and her plight. Meet one of the very first-known feminists, Josephine Butler, a woman who fought for the rights of other women and their bodies.

Get to know the modern-day women of this city, Sarah Coggles, and Victoria Bage, and listen to the stories they have to tell. Come face to face with a supposed witch, Jennet Preston, a wise woman, and hear why she was executed here in this very city!

Meet the Pearl of York, York's very own Martyr, Margaret Clitherow, and find out why she chose to die in the name of her faith. Let Gentleman Jack, Anne Lister, tell you how she fell in love time and time again but why she chose Ann Walker to build a life with.
