Thanks guys this is really interesting content.

Technically the first woman elected to the Westminster Parliament was Countess Markievicz, so I regret to inform you that you're wrong. :) Oh but I see that she's mentioned, so everything's ok. :)

Markievicz was the first to be elected but she didn't take her seat, in accordance with the Sinn Féin policy then and since.

@@HistoryHub I guess we'll just skip over the fact that she was anti-Catholic, antisemitic and a Nazi sympathiser then?
