This year marks 100 years since Parliament passed the Representation of the People Act 1918 which was a package of electoral reforms that extended the vote to women for the first time.
As part of these celebrations, publisher St James’s House has partnered with the History of Parliament Trust to produce their official commemorative album for the Vote100 anniversary.
Launching in June 2018, this book tells the story of the 84-year struggle for women to get the vote, how the vote was won and what that has meant for women since.
In addition to discussing key historical events, this fully illustrated coffee-table book will showcase a selection of organisations drawn from educational, cultural, social, technological and business spheres with relevant stories to tell.
As a representative of the technology sector, Qudini has joined the celebrations as an editorial partner and sponsor for the official History of Parliament Trust Vote100 commemorative album. Imogen Wethered, CEO & Co-Founder of Qudini, is one of the key business leaders highlighted in the book.

As an entrepreneur and business leader, it is amazing to see how far women have come over the past century and how much progress can be achieved in encouraging more women to get involved in the technology industry over the next few years.”
