Below are a series of stories about strong women in Sussex’s history who have been in the police – or in the hands of the police!  You’ll hear the story of Mary Hare, whose work as a deaf community advocate equipped her to become the first women’s police officer in Sussex (it was a bumpy ride!).  You’ll be chilled by the criminal mastermind Christiana Edmunds, Brighton’s notorious serial chocolate poisoner … And be inspired by the brave escapades of local lesbian Suffragette herstory… And more!
