Hi all,

So I am starting my journey of research into the world and themes of the play, and think it would be great for you to do so too. I am not fussy about sources, and think you can never read too much around the area of the play.

For updates on current stories about women in politics:

For background on the role of women in Parliament:

If you want some recommendations of reading by Feminist Writers, check out this list:

Check out Caitlin Moran's writing; she is a journalist and writer, and I recently devoured her book 'How to be a Woman' which gives some astute insights into the 21st Century challenges of Feminism: Check out her website: http://www.caitlinmoran.co.uk/index.php

So - that's my starters list, and I'll no doubt be adding more. Please feel free to do so too!
