To celebrate Women’s History Month, we have produced an index of references in Somerset & Dorset Notes & Queries to the lives and experiences of women.
Using SDNQ‘s Index to Women’s Studies you can find out about the lives of Somerset & Dorset women in relation to the aristocracy and gentry, children, illegitimacy and pregnancy, names, crime and punishment, education and schools, female suffrage, health and medicine, images and portraits, law and legal documents, marriage, memorials, graves and obituaries, occupations, place and street names, probate and inquisitions post mortem, property, religious groups, saints, travel, wife selling, witches and witchcraft, and women’s writing.
