In 2020 we published a series of blog posts celebrating the achievement of 100 pioneering women in Sussex.

Written to accompany our Anita Corbin: 100 First Women Portraits exhibition in Brighton Museum (February to June 2020), we’ve focused on notable local women throughout history.

With the help of writers such as Louise Peskett, Amy Zamarripa Solis and Alexandra Loske, we look at the stories of female actors, writers, lawyers, medical practitioners, suffragettes and others with a Sussex connection.
