My daughter is currently busy with a school project, writing a biography of Elizabeth Fry. It's been fascinating to read what she's put in the biography and to see how the 12 year old mind grasps the significance of Fry's work and it's impact on society. I've also read a lot of the research material which is being used and found it fascinating to read up on someone who I am sure I probably learnt about in school but have quite definitely forgotten all about! It's good to think about the impact people have had on our country and systems and to reflect on the huge battles they faced in making changes to the established way of things.
