Do you know what the four most devastating words are, that any woman, hopes. she will never have to hear in her lifetime? You have breast cancer (that got your attention, didnt it..) What would you do if it happened to you? If you were, just rolling along, quite happily living your life, doing the things that you love to do, just being a normal person with every day worries. Then out of the blue, a stranger told you this. How would you cope, how would you feel? Would you feel like nuclear explosion had just gone off in your head and your safe little world had just been turned upside down? ... I did, when this happened to me! Cancer doesnt care, if you are rich and famous, or someone who no one outside of your own world, has ever heard of. Are you married with a young family or are you still single and still looking for a partner, or even a gay, it doesnt matter. Cancer doesnt discriminate. This disease can come out of nowhere. It might be today, tomorrow, next month or next year. Will you be the one who gets the unlucky roll or the dice or draws the short straw? Why did it pick me you wonder, why was I the unlucky one to be singled out. It is not fair is it? What, have I done to deserve this! Nearly every person you meet, knows someone whose life has been touched by cancer. Whether it is their mum, wife, sister, girlfriend or daughter. Have you ever wondered, what treatments they, will have to go through? How scared they might be feeling, trying to deal with this devastating news. No? Well neither had I, until the unthinkable happened to me.

The Honourable Ladies: Volume I

Profiles of Women MPs 1918–1996

By: Iain Dale,Jacqui Smith

FOREWORD BY PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY When Constance Markievicz stood for election as MP for Dublin St Patrick's in 1918, few people believed she could win the seat – yet she did. A breakthrough in the bitter struggle for female enfranchisement had come earlier that year, followed by a second landmark piece of legislation allowing women to be elected to Parliament – and Markievicz duly became the first female MP. A member of Sinn Féin, she refused to take her seat. She did, however, pave the way for future generations, and only eleven months later, Nancy Astor entered the Commons. A century on from that historic event, 491 women have now passed through the hallowed doors of Parliament. Each one of these pioneers has fought tenaciously to introduce enduring reform, and in doing so has helped revolutionise Britain's political landscape, ensuring that women's contributions are not consigned to the history books. Containing profiles of every woman MP from 1918 to 1996, and with female contributors from Mary Beard to Caroline Lucas, Ruth Davidson to Yvette Cooper and Margaret Beckett to Ann Widdecombe, The Honourable Ladies is an indispensable and illuminating testament to the stories and achievements of these remarkable women.

The Honourable Ladies

Volume II: Profiles of Women MPs 1997–2019

By: Iain Dale,Jacqui Smith

Biteback Publishing is delighted to announce a major new project, a two volume series of biographies of every female MP ever to be elected to the House of Commons. When Constance Markievicz stood for election as MP for Dublin St Patrick's in 1918, few people believed she could win the seat – yet she did. A breakthrough in the bitter struggle for female enfranchisement had come earlier that year, followed by a second landmark piece of legislation allowing women to be elected to Parliament – and Markievicz duly became the first woman MP. A member of Sinn Féin, she refused to take her seat. She did, however, pave the way for future generations, and only eleven months later, Nancy Astor entered the Commons. A century on from that historic event, 491 women have now passed through the hallowed doors of Parliament. Each one of these pioneers has fought tenaciously to introduce enduring reform, and in doing so has helped revolutionise Britain's political landscape, ensuring that women's contributions are not consigned to the history books. Containing profiles of all 287 woman MPs from 1997 to 2019, and with female contributors from Mary Beard to Caroline Lucas, Ruth Davidson to Yvette Cooper and Margaret Beckett to Ann Widdecombe, The Honourable Ladies: Volume II is an indispensable and illuminating testament to the stories and achievements of these remarkable women.
