Season: 6 Episode: 40

Welcome to the show, where we step into the vivid world of Ivy, a celebrated artist and passionate suffragette who championed gender equality. Part of the pioneering generation of women finally able to study art, she launched a dazzling career creating Christmas cards, postcards and calendars that soon became treasured favourites and are now highly collectable. Today, we explore the life of Ivy as she comes of age at the dawn of the 20th century, uncovering the artistry and spirit that shaped her remarkable journey.
