First Women UK are launching a free photography exhibition celebrating 100 fiercely phenomenal women from 20th July until 22nd August taking place in the Dyson Building of the Royal College of Art, London. Anita Corbin, Photographer and Creative Director, First Women UK had a spectacular vision ten years ago wanting to showcase trailblazing women and share their stories and inspiration with as many people as possible. Anita is the first woman to photograph a 100 first women “to inspire future generations and shine the light on women who have pushed the boundaries since we won the right to vote 100 years ago”.
This magnificent collection features eight women from the military community, three in the Navy, three in the Army and two from the RAF. Amongst the 100 women who have worked tremendously hard to follow their dreams and make a successful career we have LT. Col Lucy Giles who is the 1st woman to be a college commander at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in its 200 year history.
The exhibition is FREE to attend, please spread the word through your loved ones, friends and colleagues. First Women are raising funds, which will contribute towards the cost of the exhibition, printing, framing, gallery space, transport and the book sales proceeds will be used to develop the online educational resource.
