    Here is a wonderful Pathe compilation of old films, put together and entitled The Emancipation of Women.
    ...... in the middle of which is included a brief film of Harriet Quimby the first woman to fly across the Channel in 1912
    TAKING OFF FROM WHITFIELD AIRFIELD.

    this is a fascinating film, transport, costumes, etc.! Films included date from 1890 to 1930, mostly between 1900 and the first war,
    INCLUDES: London, rise of the suffragette movement, what women had to put up with, coal mine work etc, Buckingham Palace, London, yarmouth, hastings, start of the first war and what women took on as 'men's jobs'. Making ammunition, and labouring jobs. Also 1915 day nurseries for children of munition workers - fascinating. Do have a look if you have time! It makes you think!
