There’s a dedicated and welcoming community of family historians and genealogists here on Substack that are daily researching, sharing and preserving the stories of women, many of whom have been left behind, not only by history, but by their descendants. We’d love to walk along side you.
Fabulous. I've spent the day researching the life of Eliza (Seeley) Wilkinson of Oxfordshire. After her husband's death, she took over his shop and ran it successfully for a number of years. She lived into her 90's.
The average, everyday person is really my passion and women's stories are especially important in understanding "day to day life." It can be done, but as you say, we all play a part in the work.
Brilliant! I’ve been an advocate of the normal person in history, especially women, and have even had the privilege of being able to teach History at a girl’s school where I could indulge this interest and know I was spreading the good things! Love your publication 😁
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate the royals but find much greater satisfaction in uncovering all the women who lived alongside and around them - whose power and influence during their lives has been forgotten since. Women truly have always been everywhere, all the time, doing all the things.
I look forward to following along as you continue to expand your archive!

I have a shelf of women's history books (primarily domestic history but other niches as well) and it brings me so much joy.
