Helen will be joined in conversation with Professor Sasha Roseneil, Dean of the UCL Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences.

Helen will be reflecting on the changes in the UK since the right to a parliamentary vote was first granted to some women in 1918 and reflecting on priorities going forward. The session will be informed by findings from her book Deeds Not Words: The Story of Women’s Rights, Then and Now (Sceptre).
