First Female Beefeater
While I guess this isn’t strictly Tudor related (not like that has stopped me before), I was pleased to see that the first woman has been selected to the ranks of the Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London. Actually, I guess there is a Tudor connection, since they were started by Henry VII…
From the Times Online:
A woman has been appointed to the ranks of the Tower of London’s Yeoman Warders for the first time in their 500-year history.
…
The unnamed woman, who will take up her post this summer, was selected ahead of five men as one of the Tower’s tourist guides.

That’s awesome, it’s great to see other women finally getting in some of these historically male-dominated positions.
