Description
Rachel Beer was both a rebel and a pioneer. In the late 19th century, at a time when women were still denied the vote, she became the first woman to edit a national British newspaper - in fact two, The Sunday Times and the Observer. This text paints a vivid picture of a remarkable woman and of the times in which she lived.
