Jo Robinson, of pageant protests in 1970s to speak at Miss England rally- HURRAH!

Jo Robinson who took part in the famous anti Miss World protest in 1975 at the Royal Albert Hall has agreed to come along on Monday and speak- hurrah!

She was interviewed in the Guardian recently. See below and: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jul/04/feminism-communes-children

"Jo Robinson was a notorious figure on the feminist circuit in the early 70s. She wore motorbike leathers and rode a Honda 175. At a protest against the Miss World competition at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970, she sprayed a bouncer with blue ink from a water pistol. "That [protest] completely changed our lives," she recalls. "I had a direct feeling of contact with 2,000 years of patriarchy and repression. After that I just questioned the whole thing of what women should do."
