We are extremely proud of our team and also extremely thankful for their input, they have really helped this book become a reality. Our journey would not have been anywhere as smooth as it has been, without these amazing people and their extensive knowledge Our volunteers have worked hard throughout this project and have been a true pleasure to work with. We also extend our gratefulness to Ms Louisa Lochner, Head teacher of Gateway Primary school for her support as a partner of this project and to Ms Natalie Young, a history teacher who has helped develop supporting study materials. Aziz Toki, Director of CLYD for all his support, in keeping our aspirations and enthusiasm elevated by creating a teamwork environment. Our thanks also go to Ansar Ahmed Ullah for being hugely supportive and taking the time to answer our queries at every given opportunity on the way. These academics and extremely knowledgeable people played a crucial role in supervising and supporting us on this journey. We are also extremely grateful to Dr Dipak Bush, Dr Naim, Karen Buck MP, Dr Renu Lufta and Feroz Khan for their much valued support. For this we are extremely thankful, these women are the cornerstone of this project and we cannot express enough gratitude. And finally we wanted to ensure that the work of women in such a momentous period as this was not lost in history. We wanted them to be recognised for every second of work that they had put in for such a worthy cause. We wanted to present these women to the world exactly as we saw them truly inspirational. Balancing our timetables was never simple but the common goal brought us together. Each member of the team was either working or studying full time whilst pursuing this. These fantastic women had fought for liberation against all odds with their minds, hearts and souls who were we to get stressed? But as imagined, we found ourselves stressed. If there was ever a point at which we stalled, we knew that we could not stop. Hearing their stories of courage, strength and motivation made us want to ensure that we did justice to those who fought for the justice of their people. Our internal motivation fuelled the basis of the journey, but our absorption into the project was inspired by the amazing women we spoke to. However we did not realise how much we would want it to work until we were fully immersed in the project. Knowing that this project was a one of a kind, with such a unique theme made us want to strive to make everything come together perfectly. We knew that the end product would be a fantastically inspiring collection of memoirs, yet we had no idea where to start. We started this journey, confused and overwhelmed by the mountain of a task that we had been set.
