Tonight we listened to speeches by 2 women.

One is a journalist of 30+ years standing, & spoke of her experiences which included being the first woman journalist in several workplaces, including a TV program.

I missed the other speaker's occupation but it was obvious she was a young mother, multiskilling.

Childminding arrangements had fallen apart at the last moment, so she had baby on one hip, and 5 year old hanging around her legs, trying to get her attention as she made her speech.
