historian Patricia Fara and modern scientists
discuss the achievements and frustrations
of Essex’s female pioneers.
Two special editions feature
music, art and science created by local people.
Music made by an online choir

particularly families,
helping to celebrate
Essex’s unsung women in
Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, Medicine and Maths
