Hello to everyone
As some of you might already know, I am writing the history of women
workers on the railways from 1830 to about 2000.
I've been working on this project, on and off, for 16 years and am
currently working on it full-time as I am now unemployed.
I'm determined to get it finished this year and to press in January 2006.
My reason for this particular email is to try to do one final round-up,
sheep-dog fashion, to try to obtain any miscellaneous information on
railwaywomen that may be in the hands of individuals, be it statistics,
photographs, press cuttings, personal testimonies, memories, about
women in any branch of the railways' undertakings, from shipping to
workshops to stations to refreshment rooms.
So if anyone has anything at all that appertains to railwaywomen, please
can you email me at railwaywomen.co.uk Any help will be acknowledged in
print.
In any case, anyone who finds this an interesting topic might like to
see my website at http://www.railwaywomen.co.uk
