years after some women won the right to vote, 50 years after the Equal Pay Act and 20 years after the Equality Act and it’s become an increasingly compelling argument that this “evolution process” may need a very big helping hand.

Gillian Wearing’s statue commemorating the life of Suffragist Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square Gareth Harris Discovering Sr Shaw, led me to discover so many stories of brothers and sisters from throughout the 20th century who constantly sought to carry out the work of the Church, to spread the gospel but to also challenge the norm when it became too comfortable, and for people to meet together even in disagreement and to finally reach consensus.Creating a room of one’s own takes courage, the type that overcomes the fear of stepping out of the norm and expectations and exploring into the unknown. Newnham’s 150 year of Pathfinders and Pioneers remind us of the importance of a nurturing culture for diversity and inclusion in every organization and the active outreach needed to open more rooms for aspiring young women. Walking on the grass Millicent Garrett Fawcett: Selected writingsinvites the reader to delve into the life and passions of this great suffragist leader. Millicent Fawcett paved the way for women to take their place in public life, that’s why I’m so proud that in 2018, her sculpture was unveiled in London, becoming Parliament Square’s first-ever statue of a woman. The statue depicts Millicent holding a banner bearing the powerful quote, “Courage Calls to Courage Everywhere”. This book explores important aspects of the rich and too-often untold history of women’s rights, including the origins of that inspirational quote.' Courage is not a synonym of fearless! One needs to put courage to work in the direction of admitting and overcoming fear.

Gillian managed to bring all our hopes and expectations to life in commemorating Millicent Fawcett and the many other people who brought about the 1918 Act in the form she has chosen. This was probably the most daunting proposition an artist can face, and as with all great artists, Gillian has created a timeless work that will inspire many generations of people to come. Winterson published Courage in the 100 th anniversary year since the passing of the Representation of the People Act which provided some women the right to vote. She describes the challenges to, and eventual victory of, the Suffragettes as their activities became progressively militant in response to the wall of contempt put up by men around them. Her discussion of decades more of struggle up to the present holds all the more relevance following in the wake of the #MeToo movement. From this point, the British Province Synod persisted and in 1956 made a recommendation to the Unity Synod that women as well as men, be eligible for ordination in the Moravian Church. In 1958, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Unity Synod affirmed the conclusions of the 1953 report, paving the way for the acceptance of women as candidates for ministry. When prejudice and bad science are no longer in the way, women always prove themselves as capable as men.” She was particularly focussed on the rights of working women. She campaigned against child labour and child sexual abuse and was involved in the criminalisation of incest. She campaigned against the practice of excluding women from courtrooms when sexual offences were under consideration and fought to see the legal profession and civil service opened up to women and for equal access for women to divorce. She was a proud and committed feminist and wrote the introduction to the republished Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1891, by Mary Wollstonecraft.The statue was part of the 14-18 NOW series of artistic commissions that marked the centenary commemorations of World War I. [18] Rival campaigns [ edit ] The Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens in 2015 On 24 April 2018, the statue was unveiled in an hour-long ceremony featuring the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, schoolchildren and choirs. The unveiling itself was performed by three generations of women and girls: Jennifer Loehnis (a descendant of Fawcett), Criado Perez, Justine Simons (Deputy Mayor for Culture and Creative Industries) and two schoolgirls from Millbank Academy in Westminster, and Platanos College, Lambeth. At the event, May credited the work of Fawcett not only achieving votes for women but for allowing her and other female MPs to take their positions in Parliament. [6]

Millicent Fawcett was more than a suffrage campaigner. When she began her lifetime of campaigning, women had no access to higher education or the professions. Everything they owned belonged to a man, including themselves. So Fawcett also campaigned for women's access to education, co-founding Newnham College, Cambridge and supporting Emily Davies' campaign to open up Cambridge degrees to women.She thought that Davison’s death was pointless,” said Terras, who co-edited the book with suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. “She sees it as a senseless loss of life.” Alison stressed that walking on the grass symbolises Newnham culture. Curiosity, courage, and encouragement are key and a favourite saying at Newnham is the suffragist rallying cry ‘courage calls to courage everywhere.’ Courage alone is not enough She was also, finally, a great human rights and civil rights campaigner. She once said of herself: "I cannot say I became a suffragist, I always was one." It is fitting that her statue will capture her in her prime, a woman in her 50s – the age at which women so often say they become invisible to society – gazing proudly and determinedly across at parliament. But the plinth will also include the images of 59 other suffrage campaigners, women and men, suffragists and suffragettes. Because at every level of our society where change can be affected, where legislation and policy can be made, where real power sits, it is still men who dominate those spaces.

Instead, she suggests that Fawcett, a patriotic pro-war imperialist, was making a connection between Davison’s “self-sacrifice” for the cause of “freedom” and the deaths of so many men during the first world war. Terras said: “In the context of 1920, when lots of young people had just lost their lives, she writes that giving up your life for something you believe in is courageous.” Winterson is not an author who messes with the English language, she commands it. Uses it to within an inch of it's life and has you breathing heavy with laughter, anger and unrest. We have come a long way AND there is still room for improvement, especially on areas that have deep cultural roots and which fuel unconscious bias. It takes time and active listening and responding to the younger generation’s wants and needs.I and tens of thousands of officers and staff in the Met are horrified by this man’s crimes and recognise this will shake Londoners’ trust too. We have let down women across London but we are more determined than ever to put it right.” Topping, Alexandra (24 April 2018). "First statue of a woman in Parliament Square unveiled". The Guardian . Retrieved 24 April 2018.
