As part of our project, we have had the privilege of meeting a number of amazing women and have learnt about their life journeys.

Follow the links below to learn more about these women:

Gursharan Kaur Virdee came to England with her family, following her husband who had arrived here for work. She lost her husband a few years later and attempted to return to India. However this relocation had a detrimental effect on her children’s education, so she returned to the UK, and lived with her uncle and brother-in-law in Birmingham.

Maninder Kaur Matharu was raised in Chandigarh, India. She joined a migrant living in England with his family in 1971, after getting married at the age of 18.
