Happy #InternationalWomensDay Great to see so many inspiring women being celebrated! We loved this article about the amazing Rukhmabai Bhikaji who was supported by #Edinburghs7’s Edith Pechey while she was in Bombay in the 1880’s https://t.co/uhbF4jZwPF
2021 marks 152yrs since the #EdinburghSeven began their campaign for #womensrights to education and to practice medicine. Amongst their numbers was Edith Pechey! She feared her abilities were “moderate at best” but proved herself #extaordinary! #Trailblazer#newmusical
Sofia Jex-Blake- figure head of the #EdinburghSeven and Scotland’s first female doctor! She spent her life fighting for #WomensRights to education and healthcare! The register below showing Sophia as a lecturer is held in the Archives at RCSED #physician#educator#trailblazer!
The #EdinburghSeven changed the course of history for women’s education and health care in the Uk but are largely forgotten! If you want to learn more about them here’s a an excellent article in @ScotNational#womenshistory#histofmed#newmusical https://t.co/NRnh3BvSeP
#OTD 150 YEARS AGO rioting broke out in Edinburgh against 7 women fighting for the right to University education! We hoped to be in full production but 2020! However after years of development in Scotland we are thrilled to be collaborating with @AriaEnts@jstheatreprods@aac221
