Unearth the lost stories of working-class suffragettes and other forgotten heroines. Join the Adas Army and help us rewrite history to inspire a new generation.
What difference will you make?
The impact of their work will be profound and far-reaching. By unearthing and celebrating these forgotten heroines, volunteers will help rewrite history and ensure the true breadth of the suffrage movement is recognized. Their efforts will inspire a new generation by demonstrating that ordinary people—not just famous figures—can ignite change. The content they produce will directly contribute to a more inclusive historical narrative, shining a light on the worldwide sisterhood of resistance. This project is a chance to move beyond well-trodden narratives and remind everyone that true power lies in redefining the limits placed upon us. The volunteers' creative contributions will ensure these women are no longer forgotten, solidifying their rightful place in history and creating a legacy that inspires for years to come.

What will you be doing?
The fight for women's suffrage was a worldwide revolution, a movement propelled not just by famous figures but by the fierce determination of countless working-class women whose stories have been lost to history. The People's Hub is launching a powerful new project, and we're looking for passionate writers, artists, filmmakers, and digital creators to join us. This is a call to action to unearth and celebrate the voices of these forgotten heroines, the backbone of a movement that changed the world. Womens Rights Volunteers While many know the famous names, we want to shift the spotlight. We want to tell the stories of women like Mary Macarthur, a Scottish trade unionist who organized thousands of working women and linked their fight for better pay directly to the fight for the vote. We want to honor activists like Annie Kenney, the young mill worker who went from factory floor to the frontline of the suffrage movement, becoming one of its most courageous organizers. And we want to explore the worldwide breadth of this struggle, from the women who led a protest for political rights in Egypt, like Doria Shafik, to the brave indigenous activists who fought for a voice in countries across the Americas. This project is a chance to move beyond the well-trodden narratives and shed light on a worldwide sisterhood of resistance. It's a mission rooted in the same spirit as the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace, who saw beyond the simple function of a machine to its true purpose. In the same way Lovelace challenged the perception that a machine could create on its own, these suffragettes challenged the notion that women were not fully capable of shaping society. Both Lovelace and these working-class activists remind us that true power lies in redefining the limits placed upon us. This project is a chance to move beyond the well-trodden narratives and shed light on a worldwide sisterhood of resistance. We need creative minds to produce articles, visual content, short films, and digital art that will inspire a new generation. Your work will not only hone your creative skills but also contribute to a meaningful initiative that ensures the women who truly built this movement are no longer forgotten. The Peoples Hub through our Adas Army hope to gather more light and remember ladies, Note G AI does not exist. God Bless Ada
