Men must work and Women must weep. (Where are women in history?)

Registration for this event opens on 25 May 2026

Presenter: Janice Gemmell

Event Manager: Margaret Sutherland

Where do we find women in history? Many have been hidden but they are able to be found.

This talk will show that women, apart from being necessary for the continuation of the population, have had much more input than just that. From early days of human society the contribution of women has been an essential for a prosperous economy, only losing this contribution once patriarchy is again practiced.

Much has changed in most modern societies but not all.

Most of my talk will address the place of women from very early days until now but I will finish with a short biography of each of three women who did not conform.

Registration is free but a gold coin is required to attend the session.
