Welsh National Opera has chosen to celebrate the life of Lady Rhondda in a number of ways.

Suffragette, activist and entrepreneur, Newport’s Lady Rhondda was one of many who paved the way for the equal rights for women.

As well as campaigning tirelessly for women’s suffrage, she became the lightning rod for women’s efforts during WW1, survived the sinking of the Lusitania and created the radical feminist magazine Time and Tide.
