Since the suffrage campaigns in the early twentieth century, the
advancement of women's rights in the UK has been nonstop.
Proponents of the cause have aimed for equality across all sectors:
personal and civil rights, employment rights, equal pay - and yet
Britain's first official female ambassador did not take up her
position until 1976. Many obstacles lay between a capable, educated
woman and the fulfilment of her potential. Here, Elizabeth and
Richard Warburton cast a detailed eye over the advancement of women
in the Foreign Office, as diplomats, ambassadors, ministers and
Foreign Secretary. Leaving no stone unturned, they discuss the
culturally conservative, closed pillar of the Foreign Office in the
context of the times, and of the development of women's rights both
in the UK and across the first world. Supported by first-person
accounts, they explore the stories of those who successfully broke
through the constraints of convention, prejudice and law, and why.
