“The information we got was the best thing. We learned so much.”
“Particularly like the practical and games. It added to the enjoyment and livened up the information.”
“A sense of justice came out of all this. At a time when women were not recognised for the great things they did and faced opposition, these women triumphed. We recognise them now!”
