Weatherday: Markievicz MP

A breezy day, some sunny spells, scattered showers.

Highest temperature 8deg, in moderate to fresh southerly winds.

On this day in 1918, Constance Markievicz became the first woman elected to the House of Commons of England, though as she was in Holloway Prison and in line with Sinn Fein policy she did not take her seat.
