Nurses were involved in the campaign for women’s suffrage in 1918, and the introduction of nursing registration in 1919. For the 100th anniversary of registration, hear from RCN President Anne Marie Rafferty on the history of nursing activism, especially those nurses involved in the suffrage campaign. We also welcome Helen Pankhurst – great-granddaughter of suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst and a leading women's rights campaigner – who will chart how women's lives have changed over the last century and offer a powerful and positive argument for a new way forward.
Accessibility
