Marion Reid\u2019s history of their first century is a meticulously researched account combining of real-life stories of individual achievement and of collective effort. It deserves to make Bristol more aware of how much it owes the Soroptimists.\u201d Eugene Byrne<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you have ever wanted to make a difference to the lives of women and girls this book is a must. I couldn\u2019t put the book down!\u201d Lizzie Corrigan<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe book is a fascinating account of the birth and development of Soroptimism, first in the form of a Venture Club in 1920\u2019s Bristol and subsequently as part of the global Soroptimist International movement. The history of the Bristol club unfolds through the book with the tremendous amount of pioneering work accomplished by many interesting and capable women, contemporaneous comments, as well as old photographs. It is a testament to the indefatigable research carried out by Marion Reid and the collaboration of so many, to whom we will always be indebted. So much volunteering charitable work has been accomplished by so many committed members of Soroptimist International of Bristol over the last 100 years that it deserves to be much more widely known. I\u2019m sure this book will be an excellent conduit for that.\u201d Ivete Hunt<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a non Soroptimist I found this book both enjoyable and enlightening. The dedication and commitment of the Soroptimists to woman\u2019s causes was a real eye opener and Marion\u2019s tenacity for research is to be marvelled at. That the story runs parallel to historical aspects of Bristol and its buildings makes it even more enjoyable.
