Ethel – Helen Mort
Pioneer, activist, environmentalist, poet. Ethel Haythornthwaite is virtually unknown, even in her hometown of Sheffield – the UK’s outdoor city.
Yet her tireless campaigning led to the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the creation of the Peak District National Park, protecting a wild and varied landscape so many have fallen in love with.
In this illustrated talk, award winning author Helen Mort explores the life of this countryside revolutionary.
‘Sensational. An extraordinary biography of a truly extraordinary woman.’ – Maxine Peake
