Enwogion o fri: Diversity Project 2023-2025

Our free #DiversityProject anthology for the #Bywgraffiadur has just dropped on KC Works. Over 40 authors contributed more than 60 articles about the most fascinating people in #Welsh #history you could possibly imagine.

We've covered #BAMEHistory #LGBTQ_ and #DisabilityHistory, #WomensHistory, #ArtHistory, the #HistoryOfScience, #HistoryOfReligion and #Wales

Frankly, there's not a single article in this collection that's not bound to be of interest to someone.

Get your own copy here as PDF or epub. And because we're in Wales, we even offer you two versions.

📢 NEW ARTICLE 📢

SHOSHI MUKHI DASS (1868 - 1921), missionary, teacher and nurse

'In Glasgow, she was actively involved with the Welsh National Union while further south, in Wales, she delivered several public lectures to Methodist audiences. Wearing a sari to demonstrate the typical dress of women in north-east India, she spoke in English about the history and culture of her country, her education and missionary work, and sang hymns in Bangla. During her second year in Britain, she frequently lectured together with Kate E. Williams, Pwllheli, to crowded audiences. These appearances were part of the qualification process for outgoing missionaries to India for the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church. Shoshi had been accepted by the General Assembly at Bootle by May 1893.' -- Rita Singer

i like #gardens and #gardenhistory.

i'm into #classicalmusic but i'm quite picky.

i like trawling #newage and #kankyoongaku (#環境音楽) releases online (although most are bad to average).
