So my message was really what's pretty much accepted now but was pretty radical at the time, which is Yes, if you want to have a career fantastic, everything should be open to you equal opportunities, equal pay, everything.

  10. “So the thing that I loved from the beginning, you know, there are so many clubs and places you can get involved in at Cambridge.

  13. “And everybody else has said that too, said don't be ridiculous. You don't speak English who have no money, and it's hard for English girls to get into Cambridge.
