This is Thelma Cazalet-Keir. When the education reform was in motion during 1944, she demanded equal pay for female teachers and won by one vote (the gap then was 20%). That is until Churchill personally saw that it was overturned.
She was a part of the Fawcett Society, supported the Women’s Engineering Society, and kept fighting for equal pay. We’re not there yet but we have to keep making demands. Keep demanding equality. Keep voting.
She grew up in a time where women fought and died so we could have the vote. British women have only had the vote 100 years and too many of us are not using it, are not honouring the right we have because other women struggled for it.
