Today, at 10.30am, over 100 years of history stopped.
She was born before the two world wars.
Suffragettes were fighting for what they believed in and I now benefit from.
Before women pilots were allowed or even thought possible!
Before girl guiding started.
Before Marie Curie received her Nobel prize for chemistry.
Before the first woman was actually accepted entrance into the Royal College of Surgeons.
Before WRNs were formed.
Before women were allowed to stand in parliament.
She was born at a time when women were wives and mothers first and women last.
His Gran, our boys Great Gran.
I salute you Winifred - you shall always be remembered.
