2022 marked a series of historic anniversaries for women in British politics. Forty years since the election of Harriet Harman, the Mother of the House; thirty-five years since the election of the first Black woman MP, Diane Abbott; thirty years since the first woman, Betty Boothroyd, was elected Speaker of the House; and twenty-five years since the election of more than a hundred women MPs for the Labour Party.
At its landmark Breaking the Glass Chamber conference from 15 to 17 September 2022, the Mile End Institute brought together historians, political scientists, and sociologists to explore what politics meant to and for women in the second half of the twentieth century.
In this video, Mari Takayanagi from @ukparliament invites Frances Scott (founder of the 50:50 Parliament campaign) and Lesley Abdela (founder of the 300 Group) to reflect on their efforts to increase women's political representation since the 1980s. They argue that representation shapes policy and point to the '6 Cs' that prevent women from participating in politics and public life: culture, cronyism, candidate selection, chronic lack of money, chronic lack of time, and chronic lack of confidence.
