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.
Launched yesterday (27th 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 energy sector and a leading supplier, installer and maintenance provider for combined heat and power (CHP), gas and diesel power generation solutions, Edina, has joined the celebrations as an editorial partner and sponsor for the official History of Parliament Trust Vote100 commemorative album.
Edina Director of Commercial and Business Development, Neelima Jain, comments; “Inclusion and diversity is extremely important to the success of our business and the sector in which we operate in. Diversity within Edina makes us unique and we thrive in our openness to empower our staff – harnessing their industry expertise and technical knowledge to deliver award winning power generation solutions."
St James’s House Founder and CEO, Richard Freed, said, “Equality is one of the most important values underpinning our society, and we are extremely excited to be producing this official commemorative album for the Trust. We are also very pleased to be working with Edina as one of our profiled organisations.”
This publication will be distributed on a controlled-circulation basis to key figures and organisations around the world including Members of the House of Lords and House of Commons, and will be made available to the general public through a number of leading book retailers.
