International Women's Day 2020

Updated: Apr 8, 2020

In honor of this year's #InternationalWomensDay (albeit a few days late, but to line up with our #TranscriptionTuesday posts), we are pleased to announce the addition of 15 more femme sole women (single/widowed and had accounts in their own names), for a total of 119, found in the ledgers at the Glassford stores in Colchester and Alexandria. Perhaps by next year we'll be able to add all the female customers too (it is taking much longer than we anticipated to tease them out of the individual accounts).
