€1.00
In 1997, a Labour government swept to power promising to transform our country. And the election of 101 women to the government benches promised to transform our politics too. Getting more women elected as MPs wasn’t just an end in itself, important though it was to have a parliament that looked more like the country it represented. It was also about policy: pensions, healthcare, childcare, equality for all, an economy that worked for the many, women as well as men and global fairness. This collection sets out some of the key achievements of the 1997 generation of Labour women. It also traces how they paved the way for today’s women MPs, who are redefining Labour values in these challenging times. Great strides have been made by and for women in and out of parliament, but much remains to be done.
