International Women's Day
Rachel marked International Women’s Day by meeting Hetty Bower, a 105 year old former Suffragette.
Standing in front of a statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in Westminster, alongside leader of the Labour Party Ed Miliband, Yvette Cooper MP and other Labour Colleagues, they marked the 100th anniversary of the celebration of International Women’s Day.
Rachel said:
“It was an inspirational experience to meet Hetty, who stood up for women getting the vote so many years ago. I’m working hard to see more women MP in Parliament – I’m only the second woman to ever represent the 8 seats in Leeds.”
