I would also like to extend a special THANK YOU to Mikaela Ioannou - Studying photography at University of East London and her colleagues who used the walk as the subject of their documentary. All film, photographs and interviews will be available to view at their exhibition in April, details to follow.

This year’s theme is ‘The Gender
Agenda: Gaining Momentum', initially I thought this would be a difficult one to
weave into a walk in the City. In my researches over the last year I have come
across many incredible women who are connected to the City of London and what
springs to mind is ‘the power within’, when a woman sets her mind to do
something, there is nothing going to stop her!
The women you will meet and get to know on this walk covers
a period over 1500 years, some you will have heard of, but there are others you
have not. From the infamous to the little known, the queenly and the poor, the
bright and the beautiful, each and every one of these women have left their
mark, not in a physical sense necessarily, no monument, for some not even a
written word, but once met not forgotten.
Their stories re-emerge time and time again, ‘gaining momentum’ and are
an example to all women of how, through time and history, their ‘gender’ is
their strength!
Winners! These lovely ladies guessed who they might 'meet' on the walk. (c) 1230 TWC |

these extraordinary ladies to you as this walk will now be available for booking.
