manchester's modernist heroines

Natalie Bradbury's zine, 'the Shrieking Violet' has recently linked up with two local organisations, Manchester Modernist Society and the Loiterers Resistance Movement, to do a project celebrating ten overlooked North West women from the twentieth and twenty first centuries. The zine spans the fields of invention, aviation, media, science, geography, design and architecture throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty first.
You can find out more about it here, (with pdf and downloadable versions of the zine available too):

This is the start of an ongoing project; please tell the zine makers about your heroines by adding them directly to a special Modernist Heroines page on the Modernist Society website.
