In the 100th anniversary year of women winning the vote in the UK, Westminster Hour has looked back at the life of suffragist Millicent Fawcett. Born in Suffolk in 1847, she went on to play a key role in securing women's suffrage. The Fawcett Society's chief executive Sam Smethers said Millicent "was there from the beginning to the end, built the movement, saw it through and was there to negotiate and seal the final deal". Last year it was announced that Millicent Fawcett will become the first woman to have a commemorative statue in Parliament Square.
