Nominate 100 Women for Blue Plaques! #backtheplaque
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 2018-12-14

London’s Blue Plaques are iconic, but they are deeply unrepresentative of our city.
 
The scheme, which has been running since 1866 and overseen by English Heritage, honours Londoners who have made a positive contribution in their field, communities and wider society. 
 
But of the 943 plaques installed to date, only 14 per cent commemorate women.
 
Women only make up a third of the nominations English Heritage receive which they say is hampering efforts to address the disparity in the number of plaques honouring women. As part of this centenary year, the London Assembly is seeking to submit 100 nominations of women worthy of a Blue Plaque.
 
As part of this drive, we invite you to join us by submitting any nominations of female Londoners who have contributed to your field, that you believe to be deserving of a Plaque.
