Eliza Orme's Ambitions

More about the book

Eliza Orme, a pioneering figure in women's rights, became the first woman in Britain to earn a university degree in Law in 1888. She played a significant role in political activism, leading a political organization and conducting a labour investigation in 1892. Her contributions to the women's suffrage movement extended into the early twentieth century, highlighting the struggle for recognition of women's achievements in history. The book explores why such influential figures remain overlooked in historical narratives.
