Inspired by International Women's day, this online seminar will celebrate the lives of some of Manchester's most radical women.

About this event

Celebrate International Women's Day by joining us for the second in a series of virtual events and talks hosted by Victoria Baths:

First in the Fight: Sunny Lowry and the Radical Women of Manchester

By Helen Antrobus, Curator and Historian. Helen is co-author of the book "First in the Fight: Twenty Women who Made Manchester" (2019, iNostalgia).

Helen's book celebrates the lives of 20 radical women of Manchester who championed issues such equality, education and women’s rights and who all created legacies that live on today. In this seminar, Helen will share some of these stories, particularly that of Sunny Lowry.

Sunny’s story is a prominent part of Victoria Bath’s history, the pioneering long distance swimmer having trained at the Baths where now a beautiful stained glass window remembers her achievements and passion for saving the building when its future was threatened.

Join us as Helen leads us through Sunny's story and stories of some of the women who helped to shape Manchester.

Event suitable for older children and adults.

You don't need to book multiple tickets for multiple attendees, just book one for each screen you will be using.

  • One ticket per screen
  • 7pm - 8pm
  • Suggested minimum donation £5

Please be aware that the talk may be recorded for our archive.

We're running this event on a 'Pay what you Feel' basis and suggest a minimum of £5 per ticket. Every donation helps to support Victoria Baths, who look after this beautiful building for the community of Manchester and beyond.

Victoria Baths Trust is a registered charity and relies on the support of the public to continue its efforts to fully restore the building.
