I remember that date particularly because it's the same date as my husband's Auntie Gladys's birthday. Whilst she claimed not to be a "women's libber"she sure stuck up for her rights in the times when you needed a man's signature just to get a mortgage.
Gladys was a larger than life character who worked for the BBC as a continuity engineer, the only woman I knew back then who was called an engineer. But of course the main thing I remember about her was that she was kind and helped me greatly when my children were young.
So every time I think of strong women I think of Auntie Gladys.
