Walking in the Footsteps of Walker Women (2022-2023)
Walking in the Footsteps of Walker Women is a collection of stories documenting real, resilient, remarkable women from a community in Newcastle upon Tyne. These personal accounts of past and present share triumph over trauma, community connection, evolving gender roles, and the history of their home suburb. The location may be Walker but the themes are universal and demonstrate our collective need for place, people, and purpose.
Write on the Tyne in partnership with Pottery Bank Community Centre, published our anthology book. We celebrated with the incredible story holders, local community, and partner agencies. This collection of real life, resilient, remarkable women’s stories shares strength, determination, and community.
They are us, they are our mother, our children, our partner, friend and neighbour.
