Ros Ball ⚡

Had the most amazing night on Tuesday launching my book #WomenWhoWon in parliament. Huge thanks to @helenhayes_ @HackneyAbbott and everyone who came for making it a wonderful tribute to elected women!

@AvantiWestCoast I have a reservation from Euston to Machynlleth at 12:40 tomorrow but have been told it’s no longer stopping at Birmingham so I should to get the 12:02. Can I move my seat reservation to this train?

On April 8, I'll be joining @Rosball for what promises to be a fascinating and hugely important conversation, moderated by @PoliticalYeti, about women's long and tumultuous fight for independence, empowerment and economic freedom. Ros and I will be discussing our books, what we learned from writing them, and all the work that still needs to be done to shift cultural norms and dismantle gendered stereotypes. The event's happening at 7pm at @WaterstonesTraf and I would *love* to see you there. Thanks for sharing! @ABRAMSbooks @AbramsChronicle @unbounders waterstones.com/events/progres…

8th April - @WaterstonesTraf welcomes @Rosball and @JosieCox_NYC in conversation with James Millar as they delve deep into discussing the challenges women face today in the battle for equality, and the culture and systems that hold them back. Tickets: waterstones.com/events/progres…

I donated to the @PARLYapp gofundme because I needed to know what was going on in the chamber just now, and I KNEW that's where I'd find the info. Support PARLY like me here: gofund.me/1e8c7cd4

@jessamycarlson So brilliant! And quite right too!

Delighted to say the monograph of my PhD “Approved Schools for Girls in England, 1933-1973” is now under contract with Palgrave Macmillan. Coming sometime in 2024. #histchild #histeducation #girlswillbegirls

So BIG announcement! Can finally reveal that #TheSkewer is coming to your screens. For our 10th radio series (just started) we’ve made a special TV version exclusively for @BBCiPlayer where we’ve twisted round to look back at the last 3 years. BUT AS A FILM. #ThreeTwistedYears

Why do we accept a gender pay gap of 14.9%, increasing to 26% for mums with 2 kids? Don't apologise for wanting a Big Career AND being present with your children. Apply to our Fellowship by 29 October. Supportive peers, time to think & a mentor. leadersplus.org

I enjoyed researching Safak’s story so much, a fascinating woman. Thanks Saul x

Here’s the elegant, 1000th, @EnglishHeritage Blue Plaque - commemorating the Women’s Freedom League - I unveiled today at 1 Robert St, off the Strand. I had help from girls from @IbstockSenior who spoke impressively and had clearly researched the WFL in detail.

We are watching, in real time, the radicalisation of young boys en-mass via misogynists online. Misogyny isn’t new but the speed and scale at which this is now happening? Unprecedented. And we need all teachers, parents - no, ADULTS to be committing to fighting this now.

@thameswater It has come back on a couple of times but goes back off. We talked to the engineers outside our house and they said that’s what they do and they expect to be here all day

@Rosball Hi there, has your supply returned yet? - Jay

Good to see that @thameswater have spent the billions of pounds they received from paying customers on proactive maintenance of the water network and not on shareholder dividends. Oh wait…

📣 One year after the start of the protest movement triggered by #MahsaAmini's death in #Iran, @RSF_inter releases a strong appeal: 31 prominent international women journalists support their Iranian colleagues arrested or detained during the year for covering the nationwide "Woman, life, freedom" protest movement. Their courage is admirable. We will support them to the end. Read our appeal 👇 rsf.org/en/31-prominen…

Congratulations @Rosball on your splendid new book #WomenWhoWon. An absolute triumph. All your hard work shines through. Proud to be an @unbounders supporter.

@Bristol_Jane @unbounders Thank you 🙏🏻

Some of my favourite images by Emmy Lupin for Women Who Won. Can you name them?
