Nine Norfolk Women tells the stories of some remarkable women of Norfolk who succeeded in the man’s world of the 19th century. Most you will probably never have heard of but they all made an impact in their fields. The artist Catherine Maud Nicholls. A lighthouse keeper, Mary Field. A fishmonger, Charlotte Cubitt. A dressmaker, Susannah Everritt. And so on.

Margery Kempe lived in the fifteenth century, a contemporary of Julian of Norwich. For her time she was an extraordinary woman, a traveller, a writer, a religious researcher. She wrote the first known autobiography in English, a handwritten copy (the original is lost) of which is kept in the British Library. This new booklet from Poppyland tells the story of her book.
