There are seven Rebel Women posters in this month’s Arts and Culture trail in Sunderland. The fabulous @KTIllustration’s work out for all to see. Including Dr Marion Phillips! 💜
Thinking back to the inspiring day when we celebrated the achievements of Dr Marion Philips and the Rebel Women of Sunderland - @alegnasmith organised a great day where my students who worked on hygiene poverty got to see the unveiling with @bphillipsonMP

My production of Engelchen premiered in Sunderland where Ida & Louise were born so I’m delighted that it will be repeated in an area where they spent over 60 years of their lives. Very happy to be joined by these wonderful people.
