This International Women's Day, we are spotlighting just a few of the many remarkable women of both WEA's past and present. From the co-founder of WEA, Frances Mansbridge, and the tutors, members, learners and volunteers that contributed to the organisation along the way to the wonderful women today who are helping us in our mission of making education truly accessible to all.

The WEA women of today

It's not only the WEA women of our past that we are celebrating this International Women's Day. We also spoke to a handful of our tutors, learners, members and staff to find out what makes them proud to be a WEA woman.
