"You gave us a marvellous over-view of the Women’s movement – where it had come from, where it was going. At the same time you managed to relate this to our concerns. We appreciate it very much. You gave us a great deal to think about and it was very clear how much people enjoyed your talk.”
Veronica Crerar, UNIFEM UK speech
