Timeline

I am really interested in history, having studied it and read about it since school. I have learnt so much in my adult life and found out a lot more about female pioneers than I ever dreamed of growing up. One of my favourite reads is about the outsiders, those who rocked the society around them.

However, I found I was trying to keep track of dates and wondering who was alive when other famous people and things were going on. I decided to create a timeline, so I could compare.

This is still a work in progress and will grow and change in design as it evolves.
