First in the Fight Book - Lydia Becker - Women in Print

Illustration created for the First in the Fight book representing Lydia Becker. Lydia Becker was a leader in the early British suffrage movement. Her scientific interests & her published works on astronomy and botany led her to have correspondence with the father of evolution, Charles Darwin. The book commends 20 inspirational Manchester Women who were put forward for the statue in Manchester. Additionally, I ran a rubber stamp workshop based on the women in the book at the @thepankhurst centre for International Women’s Day. The print was also exhibited at @kampusmcr gardens for IWD 2022.
