Lockdown Legends: The women of the food bank pt 2

Rebel Women

Chrys Christy works with community groups and the police in one of East London’s most deprived areas. When lockdown struck she had one major concern – how would people get food. She knew the community would need help.

In this fifth series of Rebel Women, we’re resetting a little. Because the women we’re featuring this time were definitely not our usual “troublemakers”. Some of them may have been in their previous lives, but in the spring of 2020 they were the ones holding everything together.

This current series of Rebel Women is part of Beyond Medicine: a social history of women and pandemics. Visit our online exhibition at www.beyondmedicine.org.uk You may also like to watch our short film about women and pandemic on You Tube.
