Activist, feminist, social campaigner and reformer Eleanor Rathbone was a woman who looked around the streets of Liverpool and saw the imperative need for change.
Eleanor Rathbone tirelessly fought for the welfare and wellbeing for the Liverpool community, advocating that caregiving was our duty of care as a society.
