As a female-led business, we know the importance of celebrating and promoting women’s histories. Some of the projects we have worked on in the last year have uncovered stories of early female bankers, philanthropists and activists, including:

• The pioneering women who helped establish the building society movement in Britain

• The female philanthropist who successfully lobbied for change in elderly care in the UK

• The suffragettes who fought for the right of women to vote 

As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, let's also look back and celebrate women in history.
