Manx National Heritage is celebrating 'women who made the Isle of Man' in a new exhibition.

'History in Heels' will put the spotlight on untold stories of women in the Island's past with pop-up displays and events in several of its venues.

It'll document the Island's women across the centuries - from a civil war countess who led in her husband's absence to the fastest woman around the TT course.

Opening times for 'History in Heels' events can be found online at manxnationalheritage.im.

Nicola Tooms is curating the exhibition, she tells us what the exhibition is looking to achieve:
