Women of Moray

The stories of around 70 women associated with the Moray area, this book provides a unique glimpse into history, looking beyond the male-dominated surface to a wealth of important and extraordinary female achievement.. The local context of the content makes this the ideal tool to drum up interest in the past both in schools and in the wider community, and there are already plans to launch the book in conjunction with an exhibition focusing on female painters and a conference with discussions on many of the women featured. This is a treasure-trove of stories about women whose contribution to history has hitherto been hidden.
