Our book 100 Lewes Women: Women’s lives in Lewes Past and Present was launched on 20 November 2020 to mark Equal Pay Day
Our host for the day was Lewes FC. This pioneering community-owned club was the first in the world to pay its male and female players equally.
The book tells the stories of notable local women who have made a difference to our community. They include women who successfully campaigned to change the way we vote, as well as women who succeeded in science, business and the arts. Coming right up-to-date, the book contains interviews with women in leadership roles today. All-in-all, they add up to our list of 100 inspiring Lewes Women. The second half of the book highlights the hopes of today’s generation. In 2019, mayor Janet Baah hosted Girls Talk at Lewes Town Hall. A hundred girls from local schools were invited to speak directly about their concerns and aspirations. They told us what the changes the rising generation want to see over the coming decade.
