This iconic port has welcomed countless nationalities over the centuries, both as residents and passing migrants it has experienced both great prosperity, and crushing poverty. Liverpool's women have lived in unhealthy court dwellings, and comfortable suburbs helped each other, educated each other, and stood together against common adversaries such as poor living conditions, and enemies in wartime they have lived, loved, worked, fought, laughed, wept, worshipped, and survived in their own unique way.
