London is a city shaped by remarkable women. From Boudica, who burned Roman Londinium to the ground, to the Suffragettes, who fought for the right to vote. We have the designers, nurses, spies and reformers who followed. Their stories are woven into the city's history.
London Museum cares for objects and stories connected to many of them. Whether you're a history buff or just getting started, this quiz is a fun way to test what you know, and maybe even discover a few names worth looking up afterwards.
