Women in Cornwall

Women In Cornwall

Women in Cornwall is an archive documenting the lives and achievements of women in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Women have made significant contributions to this region and we aim to foreground their stories, moving women from the margins of history to the centre.

The archive currently contains over 600 biographical profiles and lists over 1000 works by women from the region.

Women in Cornwall is a unique collaborative space. The site is managed and maintained by a small team of volunteer editors, and the archive contains contributions from historians, researchers, and enthusiasts — people from all walks of life. Anyone is free to suggest additions to the archive.

The project was initiated by the researcher Melissa Hardie-Budden, who also provided the original set of research. It is a core project of The Hypatia Trust, a Cornish charity committed to documenting and uplifting women’s achievements, past and present.
