Norman and Plantagenet Pioneers

A Woman’s Place ? ® is a long-term project undertaken by English historian Paul Wiltshire and retired academic Gillian Elias, both of whom are based in Nottingham, England.  They have previously presented under the name “Wiltshire Rose English Treasures”.
The project explored and brought to life, the remarkable achievements of 14 women who lived and worked between the 6th and 20th centuries, a period of 1400 years.   The research has teased out the significant contribution which each of these women made to the times in which they lived and the legacies which they bestowed upon England and the English.  There are examples of extraordinary courage and resolution by women who found themselves in difficult and sometimes dangerous situations.  The research also considered the roles played by men who supported, promoted and helped the women featured in the podcasts.
