SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers: Women in Politics panel discussion with clips from 'Groundbreakers' documentary 
DESCRIPTION:Free event in the Wolfson Lecture Theatre\, Churchill College. No need to book.  \n\n\n\nBaroness Hilary Armstrong\, Baroness Gillian Shephard\, Deborah McGurran\, Anne Campbell\, Dame Athene Donald\, Baroness Anne Jenkin\, and Boni Sones OBE at Churchill College in 2024\n\n\n\nThe 2024 general election marked a historic milestone: a record 263 women were elected as MPs. Women make up 40% of all MPs sitting in the House of Commons. In the months leading up to this election\, the founder of Women’s Parliamentary Radio\, Boni Sones OBE\, along with associates Jackie Ashley and Deborah McGurran\, launched a new initiative: Groundbreakers. In partnership with the Churchill Archives Centre in Cambridge\, their aim was to capture the voices and stories of some of the most influential women in British parliamentary history.   \n\n\n\nJoin us at Churchill College for the culmination of this project: the screening of the documentary ‘Groundbreakers’\, where some of the most influential women in Parliament share their stories about their personal and political journeys\, in the early years of women’s representation in the House. The event will include a panel discussion with founder of Women’s Parliamentary Radio\, Boni Sones OBE and associate Jackie Ashley in conversation with Anne Campbell (former Labour MP for Cambridge) and Baroness (Gillian) Shephard (former Conservative Minister) who were interviewed for the documentary. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear first hand stories and insights from leading female politicians from across the political spectrum as they reflect on their journeys\, challenges\, and greatest achievements in Westminster and beyond.  \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Cambridge Festival \n\n\n\nYou can find out more about the Groundbreakers project in our online exhibition and in this history of the project.
