In honour of my parents Margery and Arthur Edgecombe and my Uncle John Butler, whose love and support in my formative years enabled me to walk a non-traditional career path - always mindful of the need to move women’s rights forward. It is a great privilege to support this tribute to one of the many wonderful women - Armine Gosling- who walked this equity road with such success nearly one hundred years ago, and showed us all how to do it!
