Nancy Astor Exhibition at the University of Reading Library

A small, free, public exhibition celebrating Nancy Astor, the first female member of parliament in the UK to take her seat, is now on display on the University Library building’s ground floor. Kindly funded by the Friends of the University, this exhibition reflects the work on Nancy Astor that Dr Jacqui Turner curated for Parliament’s Vote100 ‘Voice and Vote Exhibition’ in Westminster Hall in 2018 celebrating the centenary of the first women to gain the vote in 1918.
