Still reflecting on a special evening at Mansion House celebrating women who lead and those they inspire. Seeing such an extraordinary group together was powerful - and a reminder that when women support women, remarkable things happen. Thank you to @LucyRigby, @HelenPankhurst and @Tanni_GT. I’m also very grateful to our sponsors for the evening, The Mentor Hub, @British_Airways, @Tesco and Stream. #UnsquaringTheSquareMile #OurCity

97 years ago today, women finally won equal voting rights. The Dearsley Window, tucked away in Parliament, honours the suffragettes and the fight they led. Their struggle changed history but the fight for equality isn’t over.
