Rita Singer<p>📢 NEW ARTICLE 📢</p><p>SHOSHI MUKHI DASS (1868 - 1921), missionary, teacher and nurse</p><p>'In Glasgow, she was actively involved with the Welsh National Union while further south, in Wales, she delivered several public lectures to Methodist audiences. Wearing a sari to demonstrate the typical dress of women in north-east India, she spoke in English about the history and culture of her country, her education and missionary work, and sang hymns in Bangla. During her second year in Britain, she frequently lectured together with Kate E. Williams, Pwllheli, to crowded audiences. These appearances were part of the qualification process for outgoing missionaries to India for the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church.

Rita Singer<p>ELIZABETH AMY DILLWYN (1845 - 1935), novelist, industrialist and feminist campaigner<br>'As a novelist, contemporaries welcomed her unsentimental portrayal of the working classes, her fresh and plausible first-person voices and her dry humour. Her first novel, The Rebecca Rioter: A Story of Killay Life (1880) drew on the Rebecca Riots of 1843. Her father and uncle, both magistrates, were directly involved in catching some of the rioters at Pontarddulais, but Dillwyn's story is told from the perspective of one of the rioters.
