PERFORMANCES

To Freedom’s Cause should be seen by every woman and teenage girl. And by anyone who couldn’t be bothered to vote. Moving, stirring & passionate.

WORKSHOPS

Kate joined our inaugural International Women’s Day event and she was inspirational. Our students thoroughly enjoyed her talk and are now so much more informed on why #votingmatters and the importance of promoting political rights for young people. Learning about #Emilymatters has inspired our young men as well as young women. Kate is amazing.

SOLO PERFORMANCES & TALKS

Kate took us on a journey back in time and she enthralled us with her performance of Nancy Astor, who was the first woman to take her seat in Parliament.

An amazing performance! Very powerful, especially in the room where the [suffragette] movement may have begun.
