Unsung Women in Somerset is a book of real-life and legendary women who lived, loved, worked and struggled in Somerset. From pre-Roman to modern times, we meet women with courage, kindness, innovation and even some who smashed the rules! Through 23 chapters, we meet most women through a short story, followed by historical notes about the woman and a chapter bibliography that shows the meticulous research that has gone into the book. Most chapters also include a Quick Tribute section that briefly mentions other interesting women from the same century. Meet the woman who had two funerals. Meet the African princess who survived and thrived despite the odds. Meet the woman who voted... before it was legal. Meet the openly gay artists whose generosity touched their neighbours' hearts. Meet the queens and saints and ""witches"" and workers and much more! These are the unsung women of our county. This is the history of Somerset like never before.

A first-generation ‘Somersetonian’, Helen grew up in Chilcompton. She went to secondary school in Bath, then attended the University of Bristol (only just over the border!). After more than 8 years living abroad (a short spell in Italy and 7+ years in Ecuador), she returned to Somerset in 2018 and lived in Shepton Mallet with her husband, kids and step-kids for 4 years before moving to Midsomer Norton. Helen is currently working on a Junior Edition of this book and has already published books about South America, including Jungle-tastic Tales and Inca-tastic Tales, having previously lived in Ecuador for many years. She also works as a proofreader and Spanish–English translator.
