Cahill travels to England to commemorate suffrage

Tue, 01/16/2018 - 4:26pm

Bernadette Cahill, sometime resident of Rayville, is returning home to Britain to help commemorate the hundred years since some British women finally won the vote. 

She will speak on Feb. 3 at a commemorative conference in Cambridge University, England.  

Scottish-born and educated Cahill will also speak on Feb. 6 in a town that for years headquartered a suffragette campaign in Scotland – exactly 100 years to the day the parliamentary bill which finally recognized the principle of votes for women became law by enfranchising married women and female property holders.
