I blogged last month about the new pamphlet from the Liberal Democrat History Group, Mothers of Liberty: Women who built British Liberalism, a series of biographies of famous women liberals, which details the contribution of women to Liberal politics from the eighteenth century to the present day.
That was launched at a conference fringe meeting, chaired by Lynne Featherstone and featuring three excellent speakers:
- Dr Helen McCabe, Oxford University, on women associated with the development of Liberal political thought in the 18th and 19th centuries, including Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Martineau, Harriet Taylor Mill and Barbara Bodichon.
- Baroness Jane Bonham-Carter, on the story of one of the most significant Liberal women of the 20th century, Violet Bonham Carter.
- Jo Swinson MP (PPS to the Deputy Prime Minister) on the role of women in the modern Liberal Democrats.
You can now watch the meeting in full:
