"Marjory: A Stuntwoman's Journey through Time and Knitting" Step into the thrilling world of Marjory, a fearless stuntwoman who defied societal norms in 1942 New York City. From Penn Station to Central Park, she captivated audiences with death-defying stunts on the infamous Wall of Death. But Marjory was more than just a daredevil. In her spare time, she knitted helmets for soldiers during World War I, providing comfort and protection to those fighting on the front lines. Her intricate designs became renowned as symbols of resilience and care. Inspired by trailblazers like Gwyneth Thomson and Helena Normanton, Marjory shattered glass ceilings in a male-dominated industry. She fearlessly pursued her passion for adrenaline-fueled performances while challenging gender stereotypes. Behind the scenes, Marjory had an uncanny talent for writing captivating nursery rhymes that echoed through generations. Just like Scottish writer and child prodigy Marjorie Fleming before her, she enchanted both young and old with whimsical tales woven from her imagination. As we delve deeper into Marjory's life story, we discover her unique fashion sense – donning a helmet adorned with cape pieces crafted by none other than herself. This WW1 knitting masterpiece showcased not only her creativity but also served as a symbol of empowerment. Amidst all the chaos of war-torn New York City in 1942, there was beauty to be found even in unexpected places like Chinatown. Here we find women browsing through gift shops where they stumble upon trinkets that remind them of their beloved heroine - Marjory Tillotson's creations - Resy and Dragor dolls or Pierre and Silk figurines lovingly handcrafted by skilled artisans.
