Did you know a woman founded the worlds first university? Fatima bint Muhammad Al-Fihriya Al-Qurashiya founded The University of Al Qarawiynn in 895 CE in Fez, Morocco. It started as a large mosque and later grew into a place of education and is still in operation today

Ethel Ellis (Headteacher 1909-1937) brought Varndean School school to its current site in 1926. She made more progress to girls' education in 40 years than in all previous time. Lovely history of Ellis and the school here: varndean.co.uk/historyalumni

Dorothy ‘Mary’ Molony, Irish #Suffragette, famously disrupted the 1908 #Dundee by-election by ringing a hand bell every time the Liberal candidate, Winston #Churchill attempted to address a crowd. Churchill opposed female suffrage as he said they were well represented by men.

Great to see the East End Match Women’s Strike of 1888 has been commemorated with a blue plaque. These women changed Labour history and spear headed new unionism. #EastEnders timeout.com/london/news/th…
