In the flesh - a real book

Dear friends 

I came home on Sunday to a parcel that I couldn't place. It was only as I opened it I remembered that Unbound had been in touch recently to tell me the first copies of Women Who Won had been printed and sent out to me.

It's a giddy feeling holding a book that you've spent so many hours working to produce. It's over four years since the project began and there has been a world changing pandemic and democracy in the global north has felt more fragile than it has ever been in my lifetime. More than ever we need diversity of every kind in politics and it felt good to hold a book that celebrates those who were previously excluded from participation only 100 years ago or less.

Now I have a copy of the book it means you will too very shortly! Official publication day is on 7th September and therefore copies will be going out to you all very soon. Unbound will update your further and I'll be in touch again to keep you in loop on life after publication.

Thanks as ever for your support. We did it.

Ros
