About the event

Belfast's Remarkable Women
To mark International Women’s Day, join Dr Lauren Smyth, Clifton House Historian, and Dr Robyn Atcheson, renowned social historian, as they tell you stories of Belfast’s Remarkable Women.

Hear stories of the women who called the Belfast Poor House their home such as Nancy Rice – a young girl helped by Mary Ann McCracken to become an infant schoolteacher. Learn more about Martha McTier as she championed to improve female education and health as well as being a political confident of her brother the United Irishman, William Drennan. Hear about medical pioneer and suffragette Dr Elizabeth Gould Bell and a woman who championed the welfare of working-class women in the 20th century, Sadie Patterson. All these women pushed barriers in different ways, engaging with politics and Belfast society at a time when their voices were being deliberately silenced.
