22 August 2024 - Women of achievement of Jersey, centenary of the death of Dr Lilian Grandin, missionary in China - 6 stamps and 1 miniature sheet containing a single stamp. Lithographed. Other women included in this commemoration include the brave Louisa Gould who sheltered a Russian prisoner of war during World War 2 and was subsequently arrested by the occupying Germans and gassed to death in Ravensbrück concentration camp on 13 February 1945 and was named a British Hero of the Holocaust posthumously. There is also the actress Ivy St Helier, the politician Caroline Treachy, Ivy Forster - who, like Louisa Gould, sheltered escaped Russian prisoners of war - and then became the first woman to be elected to Jersey’s parliament (2023 marked the 75th anniversary of women in the States of Jersey), the remarkable Orpheus Beaumont who invented the life jacket for use at sea and Marie Bartlett who founded Jersey’s General Hospital. This is issue commemorates some very remarkable Jersey women and is a thoroughly worthwhile issue.
