🔵Princess Sophia participated in landmark historical events such as the ‘Black Friday’ demonstration.

And on one occasion threw herself against the Prime Minister’s car, thrusting a ‘Give women the vote’ poster on the window.

Great to be part of English Heritage blue plaque unveiling for Princess Sophia Duleep Singh.

Granddaughter of legendary Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, she was an inspirational #suffragette , advancing women’s rights, and I’m glad she is finally getting due recognition.

Biggest thanks of all to English Heritage for doing this. Now and forever there is a #blueplaque to mark the contribution of a British Asian woman who fought for women’s rights to count in British democracy!

The Romans were devoted to communal bathing and removed all unwanted body hair with a pair of tweezers!

#DYK that the Romans are to blame for the no-body-hair trend? 💇

These tweezers, found at Wroxeter Roman City in Shropshire, help us to trace back the obsession with hair removal.

They were used to remove armpit hair from both men and women - a painful business! 😧
