Changes

It is a harsh reality that the role of women in Westminster has predominantly occurred under the radar, with revolutionary acts in part overshadowed by others deemed to be more important. In schools , there is a lack of education of the history of female politicians and in fact in the UK's political history altogether. I have always believed strongly that it is incredibly important to be aware of both the UK's and female political history and understand where we have come from and the recognise the decisions that have impacted the future. Until I began reading the first pages, I hadn't realised that this book is what I'd been searching for. And I'm certain many other readers will feel exactly the same.

''Women in Westminster'' is informative, focused, and unbiased. It is the education we were never given. Within its pages , it explores how those women who have sat in the House of Commons shaped our modern-day society and champions the work of those who currently sit in the chamber. Reeves' book is a refreshing address of the last century and it is a pleasure to read. She doesn't shy away from the mistakes of the past yet concentrates on the future of women and how politics can be changed for the better with increased female involvement. A powerful book to behold and ''Women of Westminster'' is without a doubt one to cherish.

In terms of further reading, [[I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai]] is an exceptional book of the importance of human rights and how the smallest of sparks can create the largest of fires. Meanwhile [[Events, Dear Boy, Events: A Political Diary of Britain from Woolf to Campbell by Ruth Winstone (editor)]] is a great collections collection of essays detailing British political history. You might also appreciate [[Westminster: A biography, from earliest times to the present by Robert Shepherd]].
