Jemma Neville is a writer and activist who authored the book, 'Constitution Street: Finding Hope in an Age of Anxiety' which is part memoir, social history and call to action. Jemma told us about writing and researching the book, including her experience meeting a medieval woman whose remains were dug up from underneath Constitution Street in 2009. We speak about the importance of neighbourhood and community, preserving women's history, and Jemma's latest project which looks into how women take up creative space.
