Like a little radical history? Love books and visiting bookstores? Doing the London Bookshop Crawl 2018?

Fundraising 'By-Donation' walking tour for Abney Park Cemetery Trust and the campaign for the first monument to the groundbreaking Mary Wollstonecraft.

Enjoy some big ideas from famous Hackney writers who rocked the boat for reform and see how we got to where we are now in the evolution of rights: celebrate 100 years since women entered Parliament for the first time, 200 years since Mary Shelley published Frankenstein and - ahead of International Women's Day 2018 - see the latest exhibition at Hackney Museum “Making Her Mark: 100 years of women's activism”.

Visit historic rebel cemetery Abney Park and two great local bookstores en route: Stoke Newington Bookshop and Pages of Hackney and and get 10% off books that day (register for discount code at London Bookshop Crawl). Finish up at the latest exhibition at the brilliant Hackney Museum.

Combining Stoke Newington's amazing literary past and radical women's history, we'll hear how Hackney was at the centre of a dramatic conflict of ideas and thoughts on social justice - once written off as too radical – that we now take for granted: ideas that permit us to be who we are today.

Find out how both Frankenstein and women in Parliament are both the legacy of Hackney residents like writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft and how they shocked the 18th & 19th century Establishment with their ideas on equality.

By-Donation tour: ahead of forthcoming literary tours of Clapton and Stoke Newington by Hackney Tours, all the money from this inaugural walk is going to Abney Park Cemetery Trust and the campaign for a the first ever monument to Mary Wollstonecraft.

BY DONATION TOUR. PLEASE BRING SOME MONEY TO DONATE TO THESE GREAT LOCAL CAUSES. MOST LONDON TOURS COST £10 BUT YOU CHOOSE HOW MUCH IS SUITABLE ON THE DAY.
