We have had women that challenge the establishment on mass social injustices of slavery and poverty even looked at the harmful effects on health and well being of working conditions....such as lead in brick works stands out for me.....

A woman that feels a true kindred spirit is that of Caroline Norton who reformed divorce laws, child custody and property rights.... Women's Voices to be Heard
