The first woman elected to parliament wasn't the Hitler-supporting Tory Nancy Astor. It was Constance Markiewicz, a republican socialist whose advice to women was “leave your jewels and gold wands in the bank and buy a revolver”. No freedom without women's freedom! #IWD2020

When I was young, I was told that ‘a girl like me’ had a ceiling on what I could achieve.
Together, we can, and we will, smash through the ceiling!
