Ann Kramer leads this 6-session course which celebrates the contribution made by the famous, and the not-so-famous, women from Sussex, including those from around Lewes, over the centuries.

From artist Vanessa Bell to genteel poisoner Christina Edmunds and trailblazing Sophia Jex-Blake, Sussex has been home to some remarkable women. During this enjoyable course we will explore their lives and marvel at their achievements. Hopefully we may uncover some new names.

When: 6 sessions on Thursdays 2-4pm, including one 3 hour visit to The Keep, starting 2nd October 2014

Where: Friends Meeting House, Friars Walk, Lewes BN7 2LE.

Fee: £52

Enrol now: via the WEA website, or with Sylvia Lawrence, 7 Priory Crescent, Lewes BN7 1HP. Contact 01273 477447, leweswea [at] gmail.com
