Our purpose is to have a look at some period in history from a number of different angles.
It is 2 or 3 years since there was any change in the membership of this group but we have tried not to get too set in our ways and for 2019-20 we decided to concentrate on influential women. Each month we worked within a certain range of dates and within that range we each chose a particularly influential woman and then explained our choice. As usual some of the choices were a bit unexpected but we took an interest in a wide variety of truly remarkable people and had a bit of a laugh at the same time. When coronavirus hit we moved online and started meeting once a fortnight instead of once a month. For the last couple of sessions we have just given each other random dates and the challenge has been to find something interesting to say about the date we happen to have been given. We have all been much amused and enlightened by the results of this.
