Legendary women of east London to be remembered at Wanstead Library

Suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst, nurse Edith Cavell and Forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn will be among the ‘legendary women of east London’ remembered at the Wanstead Historical Society’s meeting on 9 January.

“I will tell the story of women who became political pioneers or social reformers, and who joined the struggle for women’s rights,” said police officer-turned tour guide Eleanor Bloom, whose presentation will take place at Wanstead Library from 8pm (visitors: £3).
