Mary Branson
Mary Branson is a fascinating speaker who tells a compelling story of her work as an artist and creator of fine art light installation New Dawn which is on permanent display in the Houses of Parliament. Mary created the work to reflect the passionate, and at times scandalously bloody, historic campaign for women's suffrage.
Mary's creation reflects the fact that she is an ardent narrator for the forgotten voices of women and men who laboured tirelessly for women's suffrage. Her meticulous research into many forgotten parliamentary archives has given Mary a fascinating insight into the real lives of people from the turn of 20th century Britain, which she brings to life with touching wit and candour.
