\nIt\u2019s been 100 years since women gained the right to vote in the United Kingdom. In recognition of this anniversary, our next two episodes focus on three of Britain\u2019s first women Members of Parliament: Lady Nancy Astor, Margaret Wintringham, and Thelma Cazalet-Keir. These women made significant contributions in advancing rights for women and families, as well as sharing a commitment to Christian Science.<\/p>\n

In this episode Dr. Mari Takayanagi, Senior Archivist at the Parliamentary Archives in London, describes the challenges and opportunities facing the first generation of women Parliamentarians. Dr. Takayanagi draws from her background as a historian, as well as her doctoral thesis on \u201cParliament and Women, c.1900 to 1945\u201d and her work as co-curator of \u201cVoice and Vote: Women\u2019s Place in Parliament\u201d<\/a>\u2014an exhibition at the Houses of Parliament opening June 27, 2018.<\/p>\n

In our next episode, coming in July, independent scholar Robin Harragin shares her research on how Christian Science influenced these three women. She\u2019ll discuss her impressions of the exhibition in relation to her scholarship.<\/p>\n
