The Pioneering Women's tour in the city of London includes the rarely mentioned female architects who have contributed to our city’s skyline but don’t always get the name-check. Hear about the women who invested wisely or sometimes unwisely in the 1700s, the first woman to become a chartered accountant, and the successful female shopkeepers of Cheapside. Find out about the four Queen’s heads and three ghosts alongside the first woman to be acknowledged for heroic self-sacrifice and whose good deeds helped create a memorial in Postman’s Park. This 90-minute walk introduces you to some inspirational ‘female firsts’.
