Visually stunning, the exhibition features a fascinating mix of celebrities, famous personalities, dignitaries and unsung heroines from across the decades. In sport, in the arts, in politics and the professions, these women have all broken through the glass ceiling.

The South West boasts of fifteen of the 100 First Women ranging from Dame Hilary Mantel, the first woman to win the Man Booker Prize twice to Exeter’s own Bellatrix, the first UK woman Beatbox Battle World Champion.
