What did Nietzsche and Foucault mean when they declared: "There are no facts, only interpretations"? The problem he was referring to is metaphysical in nature. In essence, what he meant was that we have never seen objective reality for what it truly is.

48) Her Career: A Summary
A pamphlet published in 1938 detailing all of the work Astor undertook during her time as an MP. Her activity included housing, education, public health, conditions of labour, pensions, betting tax, prison reform and ‘hatred of class war’, to name a few

Astor enjoyed a very successful career, not only in her legacy as the first woman in Parliament, but in making impact in her various policies of interest, paving the way for future female MPs and in her constituency with consecutive re-elections until her retirement #Astor100

When Nancy Astor became the first woman to take her seat in the House of Commons, our country and our democracy were changed for the better.

16) Friendship
A letter from Margaret Wintringham who joined Astor as the 2nd female MP in 1922. The two formed a close bond during their time in the House together, despite being in different parties. They both also bonded over their common faith in #ChristianScience #Astor100
