1. My second year at university – third place in the Miss University beauty contest and no idea of what was to follow. Picketing beauty contests became part of my political activities as a radical feminist.
2. The first and most notorious early women’s liberation public protest. A mock funeral for women’s rights and a march into the city. That’s me the tall one on the right near the front
3. And now, not too many years later, here’s me meeting the Queen at a garden party. It wasn’t the only time I met her, as I also went on to a cocktail function on board the Royal Yacht Britannica on another visit. That time I had a long conversation with Princess Anne’s husband Mark Phillips who got a free education on what feminism was.
