Beschreibung
'Nine Norfolk Women - succeeding in a 19th-century man's world' is a selection of single chapter biographies of women from the county of Norfolk who succeeded, often against considerable odds, in a time when neither business enterprise nor acumen was expected of their gender. It is also a fine example of how diligent research in census records and directories can then contribute fascinating pictures of our families in times gone by. The family researcher will find in this book excellent motivation and guidance to dig deeper into his or her own ancestry.

Those women featured in the book are in the main deliberately previously unknown - but include a family of money lending ladies, female light-house keepers, enterprising businesswomen, artists and dressmakers, a writer and a farmer - and two Norfolk women whose lives took them far from their home county.

Whether the reader is wishing to draw inspiration from these determined women of the 19th century or is wondering where to go next in researching family history, this book outlines a splendid route forward.
