Rebel Women of Sunderland



Well done the lasses there. I see a couple smuggled Jew's out of Nazi Germany, that's very brave and deserves recognition.
Just goes to show the world hasn't really changed has it.. how many people are still fleeing persecution from dodgy countries today? Its still happening on a massive scale.

How excellent.

Amy Emms MBE, quilt maker. No one pays making quilts much attention because it's perceived as something women do, therefore domestic and unimportant, even though many miners did it, and County Durham excelled at it. Anyhoooooooooo Amy was one of its greatest ever proponents, achieving masterpiece quality eg with her daughter's entirely hand made, hand quilted wedding dress which is in Sunderland Museum.
And eee well I never knew that Jane Grigson grew up in Sunderland.
