The History of Parliament Trust is delighted to invite you to our event in collaboration with the University of Reading on Wednesday 26th February in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, Westminster, from 18.00 to 20.30.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join us for a panel discussion to explore the successes of the Astor 100 project, which took place throughout 2019 to mark 100 years of women in the House of Commons, as well as the lessons learnt for \u201cdoing\u201d women\u2019s parliamentary history in the public sphere. Our panellists are Dr Jacqui Turner (national programme lead for Astor 100), Alexis Bowater (the driving force behind the Lady Astor statue campaign), Hayley Gibbs (sculptor), and Professor Julie Gottlieb (expert in early twentieth century women\u2019s political history and historical consultant for the Millicent Fawcett statue).<\/p>\n

This event will be a forum to discuss women\u2019s political history and its integration into the narrative of parliamentary history following the UK Parliament Vote 100 project in 2018 (which marked 100 years of votes for women) and Astor 100. We will invite questions and comments after the panel discussion, followed by the opportunity to view the Astor 100 touring display and chat with our panellists.<\/p>\n
