Josephine Butler

Josephine Elizabeth Butler fought for women’s rights to a better education, the eradication of child prostitution and tried to bring an end to human trafficking of women and children into European prostitution.

A true meddler of history, a woman of strength, an English feminist. ~

It was history, now it’s hers. 

St. Hilda of Whitby

All who knew her called her mother because of her outstanding devotion and grace. A significant figure in the history of English Christianity. As the abbess of Whitby – a monastery for both men and women – she led one of the most important religious centres in the Anglo-Saxon world. She was recognised for the wisdom that drew kings to her for advice. It’s just like they say, behind every strong man is a strong woman. A true meddler of history, a woman of strength, a woman of faith.

It was history, now it’s hers. 

motherhood

It is an incredible feeling to think that you are somebodies most prized possession and to know that they are yours. To love the bones of someone. Wear this piece and feel empowered by the strength of a mother. Whether that is you or in honour of your own. A story of which no 2 are the same. Meddle with your story, enjoy the journey, the power of a woman is within you.

It was history, now it’s hers.

DR helen brooke taussig

Dr Helen Brooke Taussig founded paediatric cardiology, her innovative work has prolonged thousands of lives. 

Despite suffering from dyslexia Taussig excelled in higher education.  By the time Taussig graduated she had lost her hearing and relied on lip-reading and hearing aids for the rest of her career. Some of her innovations in pediatric cardiology have been attributed to her ability to distinguish the rhythms of normal and damaged hearts by touch, rather than by sound.

A true meddler of history, a woman of strength, a story close to my heart. Forever grateful.

It was history, now its hers.

hedy lamarr

Hedy Lamarr was an actress and inventor. In 1937, Lamarr escaped her controlling husband and Nazi Austria and moved around Europe before crossing over to the United States.

Not only a Hollywood starlet, Lamarr also worked on her passion for innovation. Working alongside George Antheil, Lamarr created the “Secret Communications System”.  This was initially intended to switch radio frequencies amidst the chaos of World War II so that enemies could not decode messages.

This technology was later adopted by the United States Navy.   To date it serves as a building block behind the wireless communication of mobile phones, GPS systems and Wi-Fi.

Hedy Lamarr was meddling in a man’s world and it’s important we remember her part in that.

It was history, now its hers.

sarah everard

Sarah Everard was a 33-year-old marketing executive who disappeared on March 3rd, 2021, while walking home from a friend’s house in London. A week later, her body was found. An officer within London's Metropolitan Police was charged with her kidnapping and murder.

Sarah’s tragic death struck a chord with women globally, inspiring them to speak out about how women feel when alone.  This led to society to stop and see the world through a woman’s eyes.  We hope that this forces a change within society and leads to a safer environment for our future generation.

Sarah Everard a woman whose story will forever be remembered. An event that meddled with society.

It was history, now its hers.
