I am in my early 30s and have a had a lifetime of not being able to just be myself. I am a degree qualified and experienced aircraft engineer specialising in aircraft engines, and a fully licenced airline pilot on the Airbus A320 family, which is now my primary career. I have always cared deeply about women's rights and, at long last, a political party has been founded that I can truly and passionately support. My hope is that WEP can raise the general public's consciousness, so each individual considers the equality of women to be a fundamental part of a successful society. Consider pioneers such as Ada Lovelace, imagine that she and her societies sisters had been given a full and equal education and access to all opportunities that men were privileged too, think where our society would be now.
