New Women's Caucus will be launched in the City today to mark International Women's Day
The caucus has been set up by the City Council to increase women's engagement and representation in local politics.
A series of videos by Clare Keogh will explore what inspired female city councillors to enter politics, the challenges they face and what changes they believe must be taken.
A documentary highlighting the forgotten and unsung heroines in the city during the 1920 will also explore the themes of loss, political engagement and social justice.
The documentary will be completed later this year as part of the City 2021 Centenary commemorations.
